Highlights from my recent book :

*E&D commitments have limited impact on demographic inclusion BUT strengthen university image
*socio-economic background is the equality characteristic left behind
*intersectional potential of #RaceEqualityCharter

delighted to have contributed to this reporting on #university #rankings. thanks PÚBLICO for keeping the subject in the public eye

As universidades estão viciadas em rankings. É um beco sem saída? https://t.co/OUGuQssIdb

[Roxana Baltaru @RBaltaru]

UK universities are facing falling student recruitments, employment freezes and cost cuts on most important student services, and these are the news? TikTok level of media reporting and complete dishonesty regarding the actual state of HEIs

Great article by @RBaltaru on the representation & position of minoritised staff in HE. Nothing surprising, but nevertheless the persistence of exclusion and lack of progression for minoritised staff esp in elite unis is depressing. All talk no action.

my most recent research on #HigherEd #RaceEqualityCharter empirically documents the gap between the walk and the talk when #universities commit to #inclusion & the rhetorical function of #EqualityCharters

thanks @LSEImpactBlog for spreading the word

Sunak's Cap on student numbers in "low-value" degrees: neither does it make sense from a market perspective, where universities should be free to self-regulate in relation to student demand

[Roxana Baltaru @RBaltaru]

Sunak's Cap on student numbers in "low-value" degrees: an affront to academic freedom, bluntly discouraging entire streams of knowledge in society, mostly from liberal arts and combined, interdisciplinary subjects

[Roxana Baltaru @RBaltaru]

Sunak's Cap on student numbers in low-value degrees: will likely damage the financial sustainability of non-Russell Group universities. Why? Because they heavily rely on student fees as my previous research showed https://t.co/dXTRwupo9b

🗣️"rankings are a long way away from ensuring meaningful competition. Instead, rankings reinforce and shape competition differentially across institutions"

@RBaltaru notes, “the share of minority ethnic staff is substantially lower in elite universities compared with all other universities, which indicates tensions between inclusion and university reputation” in her #OpenAccess article.

if interested in #ukhighereducation #inclusion, I bring some evidence for the (under)representation of minority ethnic staff in higher level contracts and in prestigious #universities, and for the possibilities and limitations of the #RaceEqualityCharter
