Fascinating article by MusicHe Committee Member Professor Robert Mitchell on Nate Holder’s ‘If I Were a Racist.’

[ISM @ISM_music]

Very heartening Lords' response to the King's Speech, with several peers calling on government to support music and the creative industries. Good to see them raising many issues the ISM campaigns on, including Brexit and music education.

Hear Lord Berkeley’s speech below 👇

[MusicHE @MusicHigherEd]

This is really sensible. Welcome news, and something that colleagues across FE snd HE can now engage on to ensure smooth transition to new or revised qualifications.

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

Breaking: The new government has paused reforms to post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below, halting the planned defunding of some BTECs and other alternatives to T-levels

We have created a template to help you write to your local MP regarding music education in schools for the academic year 24/25 📝

It is super quick and simple to use, and we share some key points to consider too 💡

"It's a disgrace."

Lord Melvyn Bragg has responded to #TheStateOfTheArts report, published this week with @CCMPSWarwickUni. He's calling on the UK to address its findings as a matter of urgency.

We recently wrote to Labour’s Minister of State for Education to offer our support as the Department for Education begins to assess what needs to be done to put education ‘at the heart of change and the forefront of national life’ 📝

SOS call for @GoldsmithsUoL Leadership. The savings gained at end of July will be spent, and then some, by October. By then, it will have been cheaper to do nothing. It is illogical. Making big decisions in a panic never leads to good outcomes. A final call: please think again.

The details of what is happening in Music at Goldsmiths are brutal. As things stand they will lose a collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral College grant (7 funded PhDs) and an AHRC grant. Staff FTE reduced by 35%. Negative impacts on curriculum and pastoral care cannot be avoided.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Universities are facing a financial crisis before the new academic year with an analysis finding that scores will have to cut courses, shut departments and put thousands of jobs at risk ⬇️ https://t.co/Fe2JNJ8cPv

The situation at @GoldsmithsUoL is extremely worrying. We are supporting colleagues in a very delicate moment. @GoldsmithsMusic has been and remains an outstanding music department.

[MusicHE @MusicHigherEd]

Devastating news for music students & staff at @GoldsmithsMusic. The planned redundancies will leave huge gaps in provision & swift decline is the inevitable outcome. The whole funding system is broken but this cannot be the answer.
