I hope you have only seen evidence of the investment we are putting into the business to support their terrific team as they explore new ways that technology can enable teaching and learning on campus at a time of great pedagogical transformation. What a transformation from the experience I had going into the library at the University of York – with my paper reading list, scouring the shelves across floors for journal articles and book chapters, often asking members of the library staff to help me figure out where something was.

Batman has finally shown the world his alter ego, his human counterpart, and is then sent straight to jail for the incalculable amount of destruction he’s caused. The third installment of Sean Murphy’s trilogy jumps decades into the future to see what kind of world Bruce Wayne left behind after abandoning the caped crusade against crime in Batman: Curse of the White Knight. ![]() ![]() Many of these establishments are world-leading and it is right they should be open to anyone with the brains and aptitude to succeed in them.īritain, we are often told, is a deeply racist and intolerant society, in which sinister ‘power structures’ hold back minority ethnic groups, while the white majority push selfishly ahead ![]() That children from non-white backgrounds are thriving in Britain’s educational system is something to celebrate.Ĭommendable, too, are our universities’ efforts to make their student intakes more diverse.
