Interested in the stories behind the stories in Issue 41? Prompts from @writershq.bsky.social, @smokelong.bsky.social, house refurbishment, a bulldozed cottage, Northern redbricks and an obsession with graphic novels all feature.

Love this - shows what you can do with old Victorian redbricks with not a whole lot of money but a LOT of work www.corkbeo.ie/news/propert...

@irunwithrobots i'll meet you in Brooklyn we will wonder the redbricks and find him. Then we will make him sing to us. It will be Glorious.

A chronicle of desultory decline, the post-redbricks. Their arrival in the 60s, their heyday in the 70s-90s, their neglect since: so sad. White heat, dulled.

Even at redbricks. I was genuinely surprised at how few of my fellow students at Manchester were state educated. I'd naively thought that only happened at Oxford and Cambridge.

Yes - the attempt at avoiding moral hazard is just a feint. Will a UK govt really let multiple huge redbricks fail and bring down their regional economies with them? Of course not. So there'll be a bailout each time. But that also means they'll have est a precedent - maybe better to act now...

I'm afraid I don't think it's likely that the most science R&D focused universities will be the ones that aren't hollowed out. Such work is so expensive that STEM will be hit the hardest, as will the massive redbricks and specialists key to defence.

Remember this raging drivel? Prose vomit. It was always 100% *obvious* among those of us who told you what was about to happen that it would be some big, expensive redbricks that would go first. Wonder if he thinks Dundee and Cardiff are our 'worst universities'.

Letting the worst universities collapse would be an act of kindness
Rising costs, stagnant tuition fees, and a big drop in foreign student enrolments have left universities on the brink of collapse

For prospective students and parents, IMHO the order of risk in Britain's universities, from highest to lowest, is:-
*Small specialist providers
*Most Welsh unis
*Massive non-Russell Group redbricks
*Plateglass middle rankers
*Big post-92s
*Smaller 'regional' post-92s
*Massive RG redbricks. 🤷‍♂️

Tories thought they'd kill ex-polys, but as predicted they'll start off by crippling 'lower' Russell Group providers and massive redbricks that have loads of foreign students and which are very expensive to run. Classic story of policy irony/ unintended consequences. www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

Instead, loads of the plate glass and less prestigious redbricks will fail entirely while top RG corner all the cash and post 92s chug on regionally and locally.

Our university being rocked by cuts today is Newcastle, where staff will now vote on strike action. It will often be these expensive redbricks where some of the most high-profile action takes place in the year to come, not in cheaper and smaller post-92s. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/strike-...

My view: the university crisis will mostly gut expensive STEM subjects like Chemistry, courses like Maths where big-name providers can suck up all the students, and large redbricks either not in the Russell Group or towards its supposed 'tail'. Make of that what you will. thetab.com/2024/11/21/a...

As British Higher Ed finally begins to buckle under the pressure, it'll be STEM and mid-ranking redbricks that bear the brunt. Too late to avoid now.
