Abstract

Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, and the formal act of triggering article 50 by Theresa May’s cabinet in 2017, the UK has entered a period of negotiations, the outcome of which, and also the terms of the post-exiting phase, are still uncertain. In this period of uncertainty, the mobility of people is one of the main issues at stake. The topic is important for the higher education sector where the percentage of (other) European Union staff in UK universities has grown at an impressive rate in recent years before the Brexit referendum. This paper draws from official Higher Education Statistic Agency (HESA) data to investigate if there is any inversion of this trend in the British system, arguing that some ‘Brexodus’ of academic staff - meaning a decrease in the percentage of other EU nationals - has already started for some academics, namely the youngest and the brightest.

高等教育人员和英国脱欧。英国正在失去其他欧盟国家中最年轻、最聪明的人吗？

自2016年英国脱欧公投和2017年特蕾莎·梅内阁正式触发第50条以来，英国已进入一段谈判时期，谈判的结果以及脱欧后阶段的条款仍不确定。在这个充满不确定性的时期，人员的流动性是关键问题之一。这一话题对高等教育部门很重要，在英国脱欧公投之前的几年里，英国大学中（其他）欧盟工作人员的比例以惊人的速度增长。本文引用了高等教育统计局（HESA）的官方数据，以调查英国体系中是否存在这种趋势的逆转，认为一些学者，即最年轻和最聪明的学者，已经开始出现一些“脱欧”现象，即其他欧盟国民的百分比下降。

期刊介绍： Tertiary Education and Management (TEAM) is an international, interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal that welcomes research contributions that reflect upon, study or question main developmental trends and practices, and address current and future challenges in higher education. The thematic focus of TEAM includes management, governance and organisation of higher education; teaching and learning in higher education; the academic profession and academic careers; higher education and the labour market; and institutional research in higher education. TEAM is jointly published by Springer and EAIR – The European Higher Education Society, and is intended to contribute to EAIR’s mission of creating a better linkage of research, policy and practice in higher education.Articles submitted should as a consequence be written for, understood by, and be relevant for a multicultural, multifaceted and international audience, consisting of both the international academic community and the field of practice within higher education. TEAM welcomes articles using a variety of approaches, methods and perspectives given that the article demonstrate the relevance of the research in a broader context whether this be in other higher education institutions, other national settings or in the international arena. Occasionally, the journal also publishes articles where personal viewpoints/experiences or political arguments are made to stimulate discussion and reflection, or to challenge established thinking in the field of higher education. Such pieces are published in a dedicated ''Forum'' section of the journal.
