"In February, Sheffield Hallam University, home to the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice (HKC), a leading research institution focused on human rights, ordered one of its best-known professors, Laura Murphy, to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China."
Academic freedom is threatened by institutional conflicts of interest. Her research has been reinstated after she said she would take legal action.

"Revelations" of £40k annual travel expenses for UEdinburgh's VC don't seem a productive direction for campaigning to solve UK uni structural funding issues. Yes, that's a lot, but he's the VC – it's necessary to travel and promote/represent the uni.
Should he go e.g. premium economy rather than business? Maybe? But no-one would call for the CEO of a FTSE company with 10,000+ staff to do so, and the possible saving is worth perhaps just one PhD stipend or admin junior...

"How did the past 14 yrs of Tory govts achieve such a spectacular mess in a world-class sector, which is simultaneously a leading export industry, an unrivalled source of “soft” power & perhaps the last remaining check on the economic dominance of London over the rest of the UK – not to mention a crucible of critical inquiry dating back several 100 years & a gateway to adulthood for now 1/2 the population?"

@Talia @sharoz We're doing a review of research misconduct procedures in the UK, aiming to tease out tensions and suggest solutions: https://ukrio.org/our-work/ukrio-research-misconduct-review-2023/
UK institutions should for now follow these guidelines: https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/topics/research-and-innovation/concordat-support-research-integrity
We have this model procedure, updated this year: https://ukrio.org/ukrio-resources/publications/misconduct-investigation-procedure/Anyone with concerns about research linked to the UK can get our free advice: https://ukrio.org/our-work/get-advice-from-ukrio/
