Universitas 21 - The leading global network of research universities for th 21st century

From its origins in Melbourne in 1997, Universitas 21 has grown to a vibrant community of research-intensive universities which collaborate in areas of common interest and application to our students, our faculty, our universities and higher education more widely.
Universitas 21 is the leading global network of research-intensive universities, working together to foster global citizenship and institutional innovation through research-inspired teaching and learning, student mobility, connecting our students and staff, and wider advocacy for internationalisation.
Collectively, its 25 members enrol over 1.3 million students and employ over 220,000 staff and faculty. Their collective budgets amount to over US$25bn and they have an annual research grant income of over US$6.5bn.

New ways of learning

These are just three people who could gain from a new online learning initiative in which the University of Leeds is playing a leading role.
We have teamed up with digital provider FutureLearn on a project that, from September 2016, will see Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) contribute to degrees for the first time. More...

After the furore: Reviewing our own work on boys’ underachievement

Our recent report on the underachievement of boys in higher education, Boys to Men, has received many plaudits and some brickbats. That was always likely, given the sensitivity of the topic. (Still, it was an improvement on the last time HEPI raised the problem, when – as I have written elsewhere – it was treated like an embarrassing relative sitting in a corner spouting politically incorrect nonsense on Christmas Day.) As a think tank, our primary goal is to spark debate, so we are grateful to both those who bothered to say why they disagree and those who have bothered to express support. More...

When ten into two doesn’t go?

In many ways, the biggest shift from the recent past in the new higher education green paper is the redrawing of the research landscape (as I originally noted in a Times Higher blog).
The white paper says:
‘There are currently ten arms’-length Government bodies operating in the higher education and research space. We will reduce this to two. We will establish a single market regulator, the Office for Students (OfS) and a single research and innovation funding body, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).’
This is bold stuff. More...

Institutional Branding (2)

By Alex Usher. Yesterday I talked a bit about some basic rules of branding in universities, and why some of the wailing about the similarity of university brands are kind of overdone. The key reason for this is because in fact most universities are competing in a very local market with only a few genuine competitors. So yeah, maybe there are only a half-dozen genuinely unique brand-types out there, but as long as you have fewer than six direct competitors, that’s not necessarily a problem. More...

Institutional Branding (Part 1)

By Alex Usher. Branding is one of those things that inspires strong views in higher education. Some fret over the fact that university brands are too similar, others get indignant over the fact that branding is necessary at all, usually using some variation on the rhetorical argument “what are we, dishwashing soap?” More...

Early Results from the Tennessee “Free Tuition” Experiment

By Alex Usher. You may remember a blog I wrote last year concerning something called the Tennessee Promise. Described by some as a “free tuition” program, essentially what it did was ensure that every Tennessee student enrolled in a Tennessee community college received student aid at least equal to tuition. In the fall, the state touted that first year, direct-from high-school enrollments in Tennessee colleges had increased by fourteen percent. But now, however, some more complete data is available in the form of the State’s annual higher education factbook, which allows us to look a little bit more deeply at what happened. More...

Moral Panics About Kids in Basements

By Alex Usher. Every once in awhile you see a news story saying something along the lines of “oh my, so many people in their 20s living with their failure to launch, my God, won’t somebody do something” followed usually by some freaking out about housing prices and – if we’re really lucky – something about humanities and working at Starbucks as well. Like this one from the CBC last week. More...

The 2016 U21 Rankings

By Alex Usher. Universitas 21 is one of the higher-prestige university alliances out there (McGill, Melbourne and the National University of Singapore are among its members). Now like a lot of university alliances it doesn’t actually do much. The Presidents or their alternates meet every year or so, they have some moderately useful inter-institution mobility schemes, that kind of thing. But the one thing it does which gets a lot of press is that it issues a ranking every year. Not of universities, of course (membership organizations which try to rank their own members tend not to last long), but rather of higher education systems. The latest one is available here. More...
