  • Reindorf Report, and an Update in Light of the Judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the Case of Forstater V CGD
    Leadership Starts with the Law Briefing for universities on The Reindorf Review JUNE 2021 Foreword In May 2021 the University of Essex published a review by barrister Akua Reindorf concerning the “deplatforming” of two academics because of their “gender critical” views. It captures a glimpse of statutory compliance and academic freedom under fire: university policies captured by internal and external lobby groups, and cultures of fear where academics and students can be hostages to groundless charges of transphobia. The Essex report exposes and challenges a widespread phenomenon: accusations of transphobia deployed first to curtail academic freedom, and then to prevent people talking about the curtailment of academic freedom. It should be a wake-up call for university leadership. Sex Matters is a UK based not-for-profit organisation. We campaign, advocate and produce resources to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law and language. This briefing contains highlights from the Reindorf report, and an update in light of the judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the case of Forstater v CGD. It is written in particular to support university leadership in undertaking robust reviews of their policies, and in withstanding further pressure to discriminate against, harass and victimise gender-critical scholars. Given the circumstances of the Essex report, this briefing considers issues of academic freedom. However, both the Essex report and the case of Forstater v CGD have significant implications for universities when carrying out all their responsibilities as employers, education providers, and service providers. Although aimed at universities, it is also relevant to student unions and organisations that provide services on a university’s behalf.

  • Chancellor's Commission Essay Competition
    Chancellor’s Commission Essay Competition: The University of Warwick – Supporting, Inspiring and Engaging a Region The University of Warwick finds itself nestled in a region to which it can lend its powerful skillset. The area that this essay will be focusing on in particular will be the West Midlands, especially Birmingham and Coventry, and Warwickshire. This essay will also draw upon my own views as I believe a personal opinion can help to shed light on some of the ways Warwick University could positively help its local community. Issues to be discussed will include challenges facing young people, greener living through sustainability, rural economy, and the current issue of the construction of ‘High Speed 2’ (known as HS2). Firstly, however, this essay will focus on housing. Housing has been ranked as the most urgent issue in need of address for local councils in a recent survey1. Speaking to local MP Mr Chris White, of Warwick and Leamington constituency, he observed more people in need of houses than there were houses to accommodate them2. Though housing issues face the whole nation, it can be argued that the Mr White’s constituency faces a more unique problem as he stated how the housing crisis is coupled with issues of congestion and public transport3. Many students can attest to these problems, with the latter appropriately summarised by Warwick University’s SU President in a recent open letter to Stagecoach4. Indeed, Mr White’s discussion of the background to the housing issue is punctuated by Warwickshire County Council’s community strategy plan for the next decade which states how “housing affordability is still an issue, particularly in certain parts of the County”5.

  • Research Bulletin Welcome
    Research Bulletin December 2018 Welcome This edition of our Research Bulletin comes at a time when the Office for Students (OFS) has just released its response to the recent consultation on Access and Participation Plans. The response is slightly worrying for providers of distance higher education (HE) for part-time learners in the sense that many of the metrics being adopted do not reflect the specific nature and behaviours of part-time adult learners. At a time when HE providers are being encouraged to support adult learners generally into HE, addressing the decline in part-time student numbers and widening participation, it is concerning that part-time adult learners are still being seen as additional to the traditional 18-21 year old student, rather than embedded within the HE system. On a more positive note, Dr Liz Marr will be taking up her interim PVC-Students position at the OU in January 2019. This is a new portfolio for the OU and we look forward to working with Liz in shaping widening access and participation and success within this new structure. Equally good news is that Liz was also elected President of the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) at its annual conference in October. Congratulations on both of these achievements Liz and we look forward to some exciting times ahead. As we move into 2019, the Widening Access and Success team here in Milton Keynes, are embarking on a significant programme of research, evaluation and scholarship to address and inform the objectives identified in our Access and Participation Plan, which is currently being reviewed by the OFS.

  • Aircraft Electrification
    Aircraft electrification The future of aerospace starts with Cranfield The relationship between aviation and the environment is one of the key challenges facing developed societies. Major reductions in carbon emissions are required to meet environmental targets. Aviation emissions are increasing by around 5% a year and the EU’s Flightpath 2050 programme calls for a 75% reduction in carbon emissions per passenger kilometre by 2050. Aircraft electrification is a necessary step towards achieving those goals and tackling climate change. As the only university in Europe with its own airport, aircraft and air navigation service provider, Cranfield offers a unique spectrum of relevant capabilities, expertise and facilities for the development of aircraft electrification and the aviation ecosystem. This includes the relevant approvals to design, build and fly a whole new aircraft concept. This is integral to achieving urban air mobility. Challenges in electrification include thermal management, systems design for integration into the airframe, battery management, power-to-weight ratios, testing, reliability and certification of new aircraft technology. Aircraft electrification will not Aircraft vehicle design page 4 succeed without parallel development Aircraft propulsion page 6 in airport infrastructure, power supply and distribution, and assessment of the Unmanned aerial systems technology page 8 impact of aviation on the environment.
