A beautiful tribute to Rachel Cooke, the brilliant Observer journalist who has died so tragically young

@andrewjnorton @BretlynB Thanks. I agree genuine student rules probably have a greater regional impact because of different markets served. 107 can also impact through fewer offers made to protect vulnerable risk ratings.

[Richard Speed @rich_speed]

@BretlynB @andrewjnorton All accepted but those are largely “all of sector”. MD107’s link between risk rating and visa processing drove the differential impact on regionals.

@andrewjnorton @BretlynB That does beg the question what was the main policy change driving numbers down? Or any other driver

The greatest thing on Twitter - through a wormhole in time from Trafalgar.

[Lt John Richards Lapenotiere @LtLapenotiere]

Went on board Victory to exchange messages with Lord Nelson. He bade me urge Captain Blackwood 'Keep a good lookout'. A needless message I might add, we are all agog. I sense his lordship's anxiety building as we anticipate the enemy's next move. Returning directly to Euryalus.

What does the caps data release tell us about universities' strategies? Dusting off Mintzberg's framework to help explain what's going on

Olympic sponsorship is a battle for attention, and one new arrival stood out for me. Some thoughts on LVMH and its Olympic sponsorship decisions.

@calderbank6 @EricIdle Puskás - Spain had me confused. No idea he played late career for Spain until today.

@timeshighered @JohnRoss49 Perhaps but the levy generated a pool of funds for redistribution, the cap limits net migration. The problem the government seem to think they now have is not solved by the levy. But true to point to sector disunity as a huge negative.

Farewell to Destination Australia. Certainly flawed, but one of very few attempts to invest incrementally in the growth of regional higher education, both domestically and internationally. And with success. Destination Australia Departs https://t.co/2Lts0U4QD8 via @LinkedIn

@JamesHarrisNow Confusingly the first emergency podcast to land is @Final_Word_Pod Joe Root for VP? Not a bad call tbh.

A sponsorship crisis, political marketing and gin and tonic combine for my perfect marketing issue. How has the mixer brand found itself tied to Trump, and what could be done? Some research-driven thoughts.

The Needs Based Funding paper is out, with proposals to fund delivery for regional students. Very 2023, but not much on how to fund the outreach and recruitment required to deliver the Accord's regional growth targets. Some thoughts...,https://t.co/lDTVFcdIgG via @LinkedIn

@DGCO10 @MMcEwanGolf James Watt’s first serve was, by all accounts, unreadable. And so unreturnable.

I use positioning (and depositioning) to explore lobbying in higher education, what does not help and who actually is a northerner. Best enjoyed sipping a pint with a real head on it https://t.co/PuKhjStRjr via @LinkedIn
