So one expert I was reading in the article was saying,
if you're an undergraduate, if you're someone who's looking at unis to go to, don't base your decision on these rankings because it doesn't actually reflect necessarily the undergraduate experience at a university or how good your degree might be.
It's more around like the research programs of these unis and how much funding they're getting and how good or interesting what they're doing is.
So while it's great for Australia to rank in these global lists, it's not the be all and end all if you're looking at going to uni.
Yes, so while promoting her memoir, View from the East Wing, Dr Jill Biden has told NBC she was worried he was having a stroke at the time.
So that was on NBC.
And in the book, she actually writes, he said, I really effed up, didn't I?
So that's why she danced around it there because she was on TV.
She went on to say she had no other choice but to support him publicly and his eventual decision to step down was entirely his own.
But I think that was based on his public.
What she's saying is behind closed doors in the White House, he was working late nights, he was doing the jobs that he needed to do.
Yes, of course, she's going to try and, you know, protect his legacy at the same time while she's talking about this stuff.
At the end of the day, he was the US president and he was, you know, had been in politics for decades.
Yeah, a very long time.
Very well-respected politician.
But, yeah, I see what she's saying.
Like, he was still getting stuff done.
It's just that he was not at a level where he could perform anymore.
He did eventually decide to step down.
Kamala Harris stepped up.
