Dateline: Melbourne (20 December 2025)

Narrative: Even long-term and highly regarded relationships end, given time. The most poignant right now of course is the passing of our Executive Editor, Dr Rolf E Peters, OAM, whom I memorialise elsewhere. He was special to me.

On a more pragmatic note, this Journal announces the withdrawal by the World Congress of Chiropractic Students (WCCS) from our agreement for this Journal to publish and support them. Our support was through mentoring of their leadership group to achieve publication. There were no limits or boundaries on what could be published, but it seems a recent paper has upset the WFC, a sponsoring body of the WCCS, and the WCCS will no longer submit papers to us.

As is to be expected, this matter is far bigger than any Director of the WCCS can imagine and in this Editorial I explain what the Editorial Committee of this masthead perceive is really happening. It goes to the heart of the philosophical basis of the program in Clinical Biomechanics at the University of Southern Denmark which has long been accredited as graduating Chiropractors.

The matter also goes to the emergence of what is now called the Majority World as opposed to America and Europe which are very much the Minority World and definitely not the future of Chiropractic education.
