I thoroughly recommend reading this helpful and succinct summary of discussion points from the British Council's Indo-Pacific Higher Education Series - International Education in 2050. Many thanks to all those who contributed to discussions, and thank you for sharing this report, Jazreel Goh. It includes pertinent and timely calls for a rethink of various aspects of international higher education, which are intimately connected to the funding context. Some key observations about funding, taken from the report, include: 🌍 There needs to be a serious conversation about the funding of higher education. The balance is currently wrong.   🌍 When thinking about international education, it is best to look more widely beyond economic benefit and export value.   🌍 If universities were to think about their plans for the next 20 years as a global organisation as opposed to an organisation looking to import and export, it would change the way universities are funded and what funding schemes are utilised. I'd be interested to hear of any specific examples of how funding protocols and decisions have changed in universities that believe they've made (or are in the process of making) the shift from an import-export approach to a global organisation approach. What could this look like in practice?

This new article explores the transformation of contemporary higher education space – in particular, it explores Bonnie Honig’s notion of the death or diminishment of “public things” (Honig, 2017) as they relate to the modern concept of the university. Following Honig’s (2017) work, we argue that the concept of the university, if it was ever to be considered to rest within the realm of the public, is currently being captured by political lobbyists and state and ultra conservative right non-state actors to redefine the idea of what we mean by the public and the university. The context for such forms of HE capture relate primarily to shifting geopolitics and new state norms – in this case, the rise of neo-nationalisms in a new age of extremes, with Hungary as a focal point.

📢 The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 (the “Act”) received Royal Assent in May 2023 and will be in force on a day yet to be specified, but likely to be in Summer 2024. Under the new legislation, higher education providers will be required to take reasonably practicable steps to secure freedom of speech for their staff, members, students and visiting speakers and to have particular regard to the importance of freedom of speech.
