  1. Wonderful little #computing #history story highlighting that there is both a global institution that happens to be in #cambridge and there's the local #university ;-)

    Joins together somewhat with the fact that the #sinclair building is now part of the #ARU estate and of course that Acorn went on to become Acorn Risc Machines (ARM), with a little help from an #engineer from 'the tech'.

  11. Quick! Get her!

    "A student at the #University of #Exeter has alleged that she was subjected to a torrent of #antisemitic abuse on #campus, despite not being #Jewish, simply due to her work with a #Holocaust #education charity.

    #AmberleyThay, 20, a third-year history student who works as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust ( #HET), claimed to have been labelled a “mouthpiece for #Israel” thanks to her advocacy for more comprehensive teaching about the #Shoah.

    She has been involved with the charity for four years, first engaging with it during a visit to #Auschwitz as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz project."

  19. The Unstealable Education: Why the University Will Bury Its Undertakers

    The undertakers are circulating again, and this time they have given the university five years to live. The argument runs like this: when a machine can answer any question in any field at any hour, why would anyone pay tuition, or sit four years for a credential a chatbot renders quaint? Close the campuses, the prophets say. Sell the quads for condominiums. The library is now a login. I have been hearing this prophecy, in one costume or another, for my entire working life, and the prophecy is older than the university itself. In the Phaedrus, written around 370 BC, Socrates warns that the new technology of writing will plant forgetfulness in the soul, because men who trust marks on papyrus will stop exercising memory and will carry the appearance of wisdom rather than the thing itself. He was describing the alphabet. He might as well have been describing a data center. […]
