Because universities are still difficult, but still worth it
With the latest post, on Robbins, we are now up to a total of 18 pieces to date in the Imperfect University series. Covering a wide range of occasionally relevant issues I do hope there is something for everyone in here. And there is a question at the end. Anyway, do let me know what you think – here are the posts from 2013:
A collection of the first series of Imperfect University posts from 2012

A piece about the value of a well-developed sense of institutional history.
The end of internationalisation?
Why MOOCs really aren’t going to end universities’ international activities.
On the problems with and impact of freedom of information requests.
What do we know about leadership in higher education?
Not a great deal seems to be the answer.
