This project is about reclaiming the university as a space for critical inquiry, democratic participation, and social justice,” said Professor Hultgren. “Universities are not just sites of knowledge production, they are, or should be, pillars of democratic societies. When they silence voices or selectively apply principles of equity and inclusion, they undermine their own legitimacy.
Sharing because I am humbled, honoured, proud, and galvanised - via 100% derived status - to work alongside the incredible Professor Kristina Hultgren at the #OpenUniversity on upholding #AcademicFreedom in #HigherEducation, which is being increasingly threatened.

This blog post doesn't mention or explain correspondence between the political lobby & the #OpenUniversity - obtained via an FOI - which shows the OU did in fact agree to the lobby's demands.

"despite affirming the term’s historical accuracy, the OU agreed to “not use the term ‘ancient Palestine’ in any future course materials”, and to “explain and contextualise its use in existing materials for current learners”."

In some places on the planet, even cows are sacred. The power of collaboration and shared vision to turn ideas into tangible reality. “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality” (Yoko Ono, Grapefruit, 1964) #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk
UniShatsk will be the world’s first truly open university, completely free of charge, with no admission requirements, and beyond e-learning. Empowering minds, shaping futures, without borders. A dream you dream together is reality. #PL-UA-BY #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk
An open university is not the same as a distance learning university. The term implies inclusivity, free access, and no admission requirements. Yet most open universities, including in Europe, still impose fees or entry criteria. #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk #HigherEd
A woman with long locs and glasses sits at a desk, resting her chin on her hand and smiling slightly at the camera. Behind her, a large computer monitor displays a webpage titled “Supporting neurodivergent children,” alongside an image of children holding hands outdoors. On the desk are notebooks, papers, and stacked books, suggesting a home office or workspace.
Today was the launch of the @theopenuniversity's "Supporting Neurodivergent Children" hub for which I contributed to toolkit giving parents tools and rights advice. Check it out at www.open.ac.uk/courses/choo....

OpenAI didn’t just betray Elon Musk – betrayed all of us. The company should be banned from using the term "Open," which it hijacked like Europe's Open Universities, which are neither free nor without entry requirements. #OpenAI #ElonMusk #AI #Universities #OpenUniversity #OpenEU
