President of the British Academy, Professor Julia Black, championed the power of the humanities in a powerful address at the University of Birmingham. Read the full speech: thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news…
ALT White banner with black text quoting Professor Julia Black: "The accusation of ‘low quality’ courses is levelled at humanities, often with little or no evidence to support the claim. In contrast, research for the British Academy shows that humanities students, more than those in the social and other sciences, felt their education had imparted critical thinking, independence and a global-mindset – inarguably critical skills in an age of misinformation, bias, vested interests and global interconnectedness."

"The story starts with the freezing of tuition fees in 2017...."
I think the story started earlier, with the removal of student number caps and the shrinkage of the block grant for HE teaching. Unfreezing fees isn't the answer to all of the sector's woes. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
