A student of mine has been investigating the history of the journal I'm now editing.

She reviewed a previous history published in 1996, and covered the intervening period by interviewing the last two editors and the production editor.

The resulting paper is now published online.

Nottingham University bought the site for £37.5m in 2021 and spent another £40m refurbishing it

Now it’s up for sale at £14m

Many hundreds of redundancies later, we can rest assured that those responsible for the fiasco have done just fine

University's disastrous new campus could be sold for just £14m
