One reasons I chose to study here and not the UK was b/c I knew that even at a sandstone, my classes would be more diverse than they would be in the UK equivalent. I studied with the children of refugees and people who grew up in commission flats. This diversity benefited us all.
I'm saddened to think that many kids – working class kids, kids from the country, kids from migrant backgrounds – will be put off from higher ed because of the cost of admission. And I hate to think how the humanities will be impoverished by a smaller range of views.
I'm really grateful I get to work in the humanities, to share the work I do with both my colleagues and my students. It's a cliché, but I learn so much from my students too. It's hard to see how we serve anyone by limiting who gets access to whole branches of learning.
Glaring typo right at the start of this thread. Higher ed going to the dogs etc.
