Sobering article on the state of overseas recruitment, particularly for postgraduate courses, in the UK. Glad to see the story getting highlighted, but disappointed that these are current circumstances

@Reuters "DeSantis said students who want to study diversity subjects should look at universities outside the state. "Florida's getting out of that game," he said."

It's remarkable to see a governor deliberately torpedo a valuable state asset, until we understand that this is a deliberate Bannon-like attack on truth and objectivity more generally. It also mirrors Hungarian politics (both of the 1930s and Orbán)
