Where are we now in UKHE? What are the challenges? And what are we going to do?

An exciting series of questions, some of which might be answered, at least in part, during the session. The aim is to review where the sector is at the moment, looking at the many issues we all face but at some of the opportunities too. There will also be a good look at some of the different ways in which league table compilers seek to rank universities too, rarely for good reasons. And we will look at some of the more positive sides to university life too and explore why, all things considered, higher education is pretty wonderful indeed. There is bound to be a bit of true crime on campus too.
