Welcome to the nineteenth episode of StratCast. In this, the penultimate StratCast before an August break, Peter O’Kane interviews Guardian Universities Editor Rachel Hall about the current strong headwinds facing higher education in the UK, either side of which Sophia Gaston, Tom Cargill and Seumas Kerr CBE look at important developments and some briefings over the last seven days.
