Subject: "Angriff auf die freien Denker": article on the situation of the arts in UK HEIs
Dear all,
There's an interesting article in "academics.de" on the situation of the arts in HE in Japan, the US, and the UK, which basically sees the impact, accountability, and Drittmittel culture as being indicative of an Abschied von den Geisteswissenschaften:

Somewhat depressing reading...
All best,
