The Ramsay Centre for the Study of Western Civilisation is saying nothing, as usual, this week, saying only, “discussions are continuing with a number of universities.” And the universities of Sydney and Queensland, which have talked with the Ramsay Centre, are sepulchral in their silence.

But with campuses emptying out for the summer, long-time observers of Ramsay’s search for university partners suggest an announcement over the next couple of weeks would be well-timed. Make that announcements.
