This week saw the publication of 3articles which piece together some of the #UKHE clusterfuck, all fab in catching a particular aspect.
The level of clusterfuckedness, that can't be fully captured in 1 deepdive, shows how this can't be left to individual institutions.

Today's university in crisis is Kingston, which is cutting all the departments and subjects below, a savage retrenchment that won't even make them half of the £20m savings they need. Every day will be like this until something is done.
