There should be hope for a fairer sector beyond what the UUK blueprint offers

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This is a blog written for WonkHE in response to the UUK Blueprint released in October 2024. It puts forwards alternative ideas and hopes for higher education and concludes as follows:De-commodifying higher education for students and rebalancing power and resources within the sector are the only long-term solutions if we truly want a progressive system of higher education. This will never be imposed from the top. As a class, the ruling elite of higher education simply aren’t interested in it. The only people who can demand and build the political momentum necessary for a university system that truly serves the people are students and higher education workers.We build it ourselves or it will not be built.
