Our latest article and the capstone paper from @soundscape_SSID! . We've spent 6 years working towards creating useful single-value indices of soundscape quality. Here we present SPI, our method for defining perception-focussed, context dependent Soundscape Perception Indices!.
SPECIAL ISSUE: ADVANCES IN SOUNDSCAPE. This work shares a single value indices to compare soundscape quality which incorporate context, aural diversity, and specific design goals for a given application. @AcousticsMan @F_aletta @TheBartlettUCL

The UK's system already is an effective lifelong grad tax for many. But only the ones who go into low to mid paid fields (as they should and this includes engineers, drs, etc) pay and never catch up to the interest. Make it fair across the board - every grad pays the same tax.

All of society benefits when barriers to education are lowered and grads benefit with better jobs and higher pay. So remove the "can I afford it, will I ever pay off my loans" question and also make sure it's not only poorer students who have to pay the rest of their lives.

Just make it a real graduate tax. Recognise higher ed as a social good AND personal benefit and spread the cost equitably. Something like 3% above £30k for all graduates. (Note, haven't done the maths for whether that's enough, just spitballing the numbers here).

I really think the UK should realise its loan system is already a graduate tax. Only, it's a grad tax only for people w/o rich parents or who don't go into finance.
Student loans are so fake lmao, was chatting with a bunch of other people, all fairly average UK income, none of them have made a dent and never expect to. They will never be repaid, they are simply a phenomenally unjust tax.
