British Museum interim director thinks it should charge non-UK visitors for entry?

- It's literally famous for its [looted?] world collections.
- Who tf will enforce this - FoH as border guards?
- If it doesn't have the resources to look after its collections...time for return.

Isn’t the whole heterodox “dangerous ideas” schtick getting kind of old? There’s yet another slick conference with the same old line-up. Meanwhile riot police are being deployed to break up Gaza encampments. Seems clear which ideas are actually ‘dangerous’?

One of many consistencies in so many university statements the last seven months is how rarely, if ever, they seem to realise that they may have Palestinian students and faculty, let alone from Gaza.

While everyone is paying attention to protests in higher ed, you should know that 800,000 people took to the streets in Buenos Aires this week to fight Milei’s cuts to free public university education in Argentina: english.elpais.com/international/…

In the words of my esteemed colleague Oumar Bâ: “solidarity with Dr. Bikrum Gill. hey ISA, your members are getting arrested at their place of work, fyi” #letthemfree #freePalestine 🇵🇸

The right-wing noise about universities being driven by lefties is nonsense once you see the power BOGs hold . Unis have a lot of left wing faculty because when you research things, you see that progressive ideas are progressive! Tonnes of right-wingers safely present on campuses

Palestinian academics in the UK urgently call for solidarity in defence of Gaza universities. UK universities & international organisations must support rebuilding #GazaUniversities .

Are you not ashamed that alumni Refaat Alareer who was an esteemed poet was murdered in a targeted assassination and UCL have failed to even mention him yet here is IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education & Society putting resource into naming the department “tortured poet”.

Absolutely no class or shame.

Wow. “the government has not reviewed whether Israel is committing IHL violations since 29th January in the context of arms export reviews, and it has not received any legal advice on whether Israel is complying with IHL since 29th February.” Just wow.

'With IMF & @worldbank in the driving seat, we will only have market sharks ruling this international financial anarchy!' Iolanda Fresnillo calls on UN ECOSOC President #Fin4Dev to reject a #BrettonWoods -led solution to #DebtCrisis .
