Academics can be so focused on meeting specific #promotion criteria, they forgo opportunities for scholarly #collaboration. Perhaps it’s time for a shift in mindset, writes @otherdrnick.bsky.social of @uofglasgow.bsky.social: www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/tickb... #academicsky #PhDsky #edusky
Is the tick-box structure of promotion preventing true collaboration?

Are narrow ‘tick-box’ promotion metrics in #highereducation stifling genuine collaboration, skewing academia’s core values and distracting from focusing on the bigger career picture? www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/tickb...

Do you want to know why Britain's university system is imploding? Well, if you do... Make yourself a nice coffee, pull up a chair and take a look at what I wrote back in the summer for Prospect magazine. Please repost if you agree! www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...
Crash course
The UK’s universities are among the best in the world. So why do many appear close to collapse?

Why is it that no matter how long a meeting is, the last five minutes are spent frantically deciding everything we ignored for the first hour? It’s like a group panic attack disguised as productivity.
