Conclusion to Building the Post-Pandemic University
In September 2022, Rectors, Presidents, and Vice-Chancellors assembled at the University of Bologna in Italy to sign the Magna Charta Universitatum (MCU 2020). This event was deeply symbolic for multiple reasons. The ceremony was the first public gathering of so many heads of universities since the Covid lockdowns. That it was at the University of Bologna, founded in 1088, cast the arc of time backwards as if to remind the world that this ancient institution had longer and deeper roots than the modern nation state. The Magna Charta itself, otherwise known as the Great Charta of Universities, is a short document that was ratified on the eve of the end of the Cold War in 1988, laying out the fundamental values and principles of the university, in particular institutional autonomy and academic freedom

Nesomyrmex vannoorti Mbanyana & Robertson, 2008, sp. nov.
Nesomyrmex vannoorti sp. nov. Fig. 3j -l Description of worker Holotype. HL 0.669, HW 0.521, HW1 0.561, CI 78, SL 0.441, SI 85, PW 0.382, ML 0.818, EL 0.197 EI 38. Mandibles with longitudinal striations. Clypeus with longitudinal striations, with central and posterior region of median portion smooth to faintly reticulate. Anterior clypeal margin evenly convex and with a projecting translucent lamella medially. Large eyes with 16 ommatidia in the longest row. Scapes of moderate length (SI 85). Head in full face-view hind margin shallowly convex. Promesonotum in profile evenly convex and metanotal groove conspicuously impressed.Propodeumunarmed;forminganevenconvexity with declivity. Anterior peduncle with a small tooth-like subpetiolar process. Petiolar node in profile evenly convex; posterior to the node is a moderately broad cylindrical portionof the petiole. Postpetiole inprofile low and rounded. Dorsumofhead with faint reticulate pattern and faint longitudinal striations between the eyes and behind the antennal insertions. Promesonotum finely reticulate, propodeal dorsum reticulate-punctate. Petiolar node and postpetiole finely reticulate pattern. First gastral tergite with a very short basal costulae and the rest of the tergite smooth and shining. Dorsum of head with short erect hairs mostly concentrated along two longitudinal lines. The venter of head with five straight hairs and two curved hairs. Promesonotal dorsum with at least four pairs of short, erect hairs, acute apically. Propodeum with two pairs of erect hairs, petiolar node with two pairs of suberect acute hairs apically and postpetiole with two pairs of suberect hairs. Regularly spaced suberect hairs on the gastral tergite and sternite. Head and gaster dark brown, with mesosoma and nodes light brown in colour. Paratypes. HL 0.620-0.698, HW 0.462-0.582, HW1 0.502-0.610, CI 75-81, SL 0.398-0.492, SI 80-93, PW 0.352-0.423, ML 0.751-0.944, EL 0.177-0.236, EI33-42 (22 of 45 measured). Same as holotype except the following differences: Mandibles either with longitudinal striations or smooth and shining. Dorsum of head smooth or with faint reticulate pattern between the eyes; fine longitudinal striations between the eyes and behind the antennal insertions present. Promesonotum either finely reticulate, or smooth and shining, with a fine, barely evident, inlaid reticulate pattern. The venter of head with 3-5 long hairs. Promesonotal dorsum with 3-4 pairs of short suberect hairs. Base of first gastral tergite either with or without costulae. Colour either uniformly medium brown or head and gaster dark brown, with mesosoma and nodes light brown. Diagnosis Nesomyrmex vannoorti is similar-looking to N. ruani, N. nanniae and N. entabeni. In all of them the unarmed propodeum formsaneven convexityandcolourismedium to dark brown. It is distinguished from the three latter species by having hairs on the propodeum. Biology Specimens were collected from pitfall traps, yellow pan traps and from sweeping in Nama-Karoo on dolerite soils and from Ruschia spinisa/Eriocephalis veld.
