This is a fundamental point that 99% of higher-ed coverage, and 100% of immig coverage, have missed.
A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.
30% drop year over year!

Academic BSK, how would you cite an article in the British Yearbook of International Law 2021, when there is still no physical version? I went with "forthcoming", but in 2025 it just sounds sloppy (on my part...). Any alternatives? Are we just DOIing references now?

The WTO Fisheries Subsidies Agreement, the WTO's first environmental agreement, is now in force! To ensure it works, all large WTO Members must ratify it. Here's @coppetainpu.bsky.social's helpful visual of countries that still have not yet ratified (Brazil, Kenya, Tonga & Vietnam ratified today!).

Predatory journal behavior. Am I the only one now receiving review requests from journals I had not heard of, for articles which are way outside my field of expertise and even discipline, seemingly based on weak keyword-based matches? Is there an acceptable policy on this?
