May 14, 2021 at 17:08 comment added user128581 @DmitrySavostyanov Plymouth, Cambridge, and UCL all have their Athena Swan applications publicly available. Plymouth has redacted the application numbers, but Cambridge and UCL provide them.
May 7, 2021 at 16:08 comment added Dmitry Savostyanov @DanielHatton Athena Swan application documents are not public documents - the information in them is not easily accessible to public.
May 7, 2021 at 8:04 comment added user128581 'if Universities disclose their records of application numbers for the academic posts (which is not likely)' Some may include this information in their Athena Swan application documents.

Jul 25, 2018 at 3:02 comment added Arthur Tarasov I would argue that it is re-balancing away from EU budget towards global market. Between India, China, and Southeast Asia, there are tens of millions of students who have UK as their #1 choice for their university destination. Most of them don't plan to stay in UK after they obtain their degree. In fact, many can find higher paying jobs back in their fast growing economies with a UK degree. High tuition/living costs and visa requirements hold them back. Hundreds of my Chinese students would like to go to UK for masters. I've yet to meet one who wants to study in Germany or France
Jul 24, 2018 at 13:11 comment added G_B A further complication here: economic uncertainty/downturn tends to reduce self-attrition in the workforce. People who might otherwise have retired, taken time out for parenting, or shifted from full-time to part-time work, decide that it's too much of a financial risk, and hang on to what they have. This reduces the rate at which existing positions become vacant.
