Higher Education - First thoughts about

Reports Washington Post: A vice chairwoman of Howard University’s board of trustees recently told the board that the historically black school in Northwest Washington “is in genuine trouble” because of fiscal and management problems, according to a report published Friday. “Howard will not be here in three years if we don’t make some crucial decisions now,” Renee Higginbotham-Brooks wrote in a letter dated April 24, which the Chronicle of Higher Education published on its Web site. Among the concerns Higginbotham-Brooks cited were competition for students from less expensive public colleges, the possibility of a reduction in federal appropriations, expenses associated with the university’s hospital, the absence of a robust fundraising system to offset declines in tuition revenue and a university workforce that she said is too large. Rachel Mann, a spokeswoman for Howard, said Friday afternoon that the university would refer questions about the letter to the board chairman, Addison Barry Rand ...

Polytechnic Students Union has written this The Polytechnic Students Union wishes to inform students that the decision by Unima council to reopen the colleges is a welcome idea because the union would like to see the students finishing and continuing their studies without hindrance and political disturbances as has been the case recently. However, if we go by the memo in the Daily Times of Today, the 6th June, 2013, council has indicated that the college will write students individually to express their willingness to resume classes out of their volition. PSU has not been communicated on the same by our local management as was the case with Chancellor College Students Union. PSU believes that council is using Chancellor college as an experiment on the consent forms to test the strength of the Union. You are aware that some PP sponsored students disguised as concerned students and wanted to frustrate the majority of the students who were pursuing the issues under the leadership of SUCC. The Polytechnic com ...

Legalbrief Today - Plan to beef up LLB degree In a move designed to ensure students are adequately equipped to enter the law profession when they leave university it has been agreed to revisit the LLB degree with a view to extending it to five years, writes Legalbrief. It was changed to a four-year undergraduate degree in 1998. Delegates at the so-called LLB Summit, which included representatives of the attorneys’ and advocates’ professions, the SA Law Deans Association (SALDA), law students, the Justice Department and other stakeholders resolved to request the Council for Higher Education (CHE) to conduct a standard-setting process for the LLB degree to be concluded by 30 June 2014. The process should take into account the required attributes for graduates identified at the LLB Summit, such as: knowledge of substantive law; generic skills (language, literacy, numeracy, research, analytical, IT); ethics; a commitment to social justice; the requirements of the workplace; and resources.

You know, as a father of three children who have yet to get their higher education - more and more I'm narrowing their options down to about 2 or 3 schools. This stuff is so rampant, so ridiculous, and I can't imagine supporting it to the tune of 20,000 of my hard-earned dollars per year (or more).

Recent editorials published in Indiana newspapers Associated Press Waging the 'readiness' campaign Almost every Hoosier who starts college intends to finish. Unfortunately, those who arrive on campus unprepared in key academic areas are far less likely to fulfill that aspiration. The Indiana General Assembly passed one of its more logical, meaningful pieces of education legislation this spring related to college readiness. That bill, signed into law this month by Gov. Mike Pence, calls for high schools to identify and give extra help to 11th-graders at risk of failing senior-year exams or needing remedial classes once they reach college. Unlike numerous experimental school reforms enacted in recent years by the Legislature, this law is quantifiably valid. It makes clear sense. The legislation addresses a problem illuminated in the Indiana College Readiness Reports issued last month by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The research showed that 32 percent of Indiana's high school graduating class ...

Perry writes: I am 24 years old and I’ve been in a relationship with a lady for about two years. I love her very much and as a result of my strong religious beliefs, I have decided not to have any sexual intimacy with her until I marry her. Some time back, just as I was about to write my final exams, my girlfriend called to inform me that she was pregnant with her ex which got me very devastated. Her pregnancy issue got to me that, I lost concentration during my exams and had to drop out of my tertiary education. Six months after, my girl confessed to me that she wasn’t pregnant and also the guy who called claiming to be his ex was her boss who wanted to know how much I loved my girlfriend. Her confession made me happy even though I couldn’t complete my tertiary education because of that. Now, the prank which was played by my girlfriend and her boss has become a reality because she just told me recently that she is pregnant for her boss. The issue has gotten me all confused again and I am losing con ...

HRD min likely to form coordinating body for education regulators New Delhi : Keeping aside a contentious proposal for an over-arching body subsuming existing regulators in the higher education sector, government has decided to come up with a coordinating body instead through an executive order. The development comes in wake of the Parliamentary standing committee on HRD opposing the viability of a proposed over-arching body which would have subsumed regulators like UGC and AICTE. While examining the Higher Education and Research Bill 2011 for creation of National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER), it feared the over-arching body would give rise to "undesired results". It had instead suggested to form an over-arching commission which would work as a coordinator with the specialised bodies like UGC, AICTE and NCTE, as a workable formula under the overall supervision of the Commission. Taking note of the suggestion, HRD Ministry officials said they have given "in principal" approval to th ...

Endocrine Diseases - Jun 24th, 09 A Bayer HealthCare Animal Health Brochure Introduction Equine Cushing’s disease is one of the most common diseases of horses greater than 15 years of age. The clinical signs are associated with abnormally elevated hormone concentrations in the blood and along with other hormones, cortisol, plays an important role in this disease. This syndrome is better defined as Equine Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) because it reflects the location within the brain that is abnormal. In humans, Cushing’s disease affects a different location within the pituitary gland, thus the reason why veterinarians prefer to call this disease PPID. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. In horses with PPID, the middle lobe of the pituitary gland (pars intermedia) becomes enlarged over time and results in over production of hormones. The growth of the middle lobe of the pituitary gland can compress the adjacent structures in the pituitary and hypothalamus resulting i ...

National Nzimande: SACP concerned about Cosatu The SACP was calling for unity within the Congress of SA Trade Unions, general secretary Blade Nzimande told reporters in Johannesburg on Sunday. Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande has been lambasted for pushing through legal amendments that will allow him to intervene in university governance "at whim" (Madelene Cronjé, MG) Sapa mg.co.za, Sun 02 Jun 2013 16:52 GMT+2 "The flouting of one of the core founding principles of the federation, namely one industry, one union; the poaching of members; the cultivation of personality cults; the undermining of collective leadership and working class democracy; are all practices that play into the hands of the class offensive against the working class," he said. "These practices must be unambiguously condemned and eliminated." Accusations of corruption against Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi earlier this year had reportedly divided Cosatu affiliates, and it was speculated they were part o ...

Back when RSU 20 was proposed I supported the idea very loosely, not that it was actually my business, but everyone, or enough of everyone, thought it would be a good idea. I hope I don’t have to remind people that it was a rocky start and the road led us to where we are today. After a few short years Frankfort withdrew taking their financial support. Things came to a boil in the general public and many people, parents, educators, school administrators, the public, a lot of public began talking about withdrawal. It wasn’t about cost increases because those had yet to come down in the way they have today. They simply were not happy with the new RSU and they wanted out. The state had set up an incredibly difficult withdrawal process but they wanted to try. First; six towns had to gather signatures sufficient to bring the issue to their town meetings and for Belfast to take it to a city wide election referendum. The signature gathering was done and all six towns passed the withdrawal. The structure was s ...

New agency for national exams: The HRD Ministry has constituted a seven-member task force under former IIT Kanpur director Sanjay Dhande to set up a national testing agency for conducting various kinds of national-level exams. It will prepare a blue print for creating a special purpose vehicle to take the concept of National Testing Agency (NTA) forward. The Central Advisory Board for Education (CABE), the highest decision making body on education, had earlier endorsed the proposal, as the move would relieve different bodies such as UGC and the IIT from the responsibility of holding national-level tests. Higher Education secretary Ashok Thakur had said the proposed agency might be formed through an executive order and not set up as a statutory body through an act of Parliament. The testing agency would be conducting the National Eligibility Test (NET) and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) to begin with. It would be an "internationally benchmarked testing and assessment organisation" conducting ...

MANILA, Philippines - Information technology and Business Administration students will now have the option to specialize on a business analytics track following the agreement between the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and multinational technology and consulting company IBM Corp. Considering the growing demands of the local and international business landscapes, CHED and IBM agreed to cooperate in offering students business analytics, estimated to become a $160-billion industry by 2015. Business analytics is mainly concerned with addressing market uncertainty, complexity, volatility and revenue growth. Technology research firm Gartner said big data demand will reach 4.4 million jobs globally by 2015 but only one-third of those jobs will be filled due to a shortage of trained skilled professionals. "Recognizing the impending global talent shortage, CHED and IBM, in collaboration with other key higher education stakeholders sought to address this challenge that we face as a country.

Well done to Imogen Probyn-Gibbs for her debut Norwich SWP meeting on "How we learn". A very good meeting with lots of Marxist analysis on how humans learn and develop, What Capitalism and Class does to Education, How to resist the Tory attacks on education at the moment. Why Michael Gove is basically a Muppet. How the Tories are trying to force a right wing history syllabus on us and how they were forced via working class pressure from the teaching Unions to reinstate Mary Seacole back onto the History Curriculum Also, why the reforms won in the 50s and 60s like Comprehensive Education and Higher Education being opened up are worth fighting for!

When one chooses to be a member of this Congress, he or she should by then, be a registered student upon payment of a membership fee. Members of SASCO often refer to themselves as belonging to an organization because the opening words in SASCO’s Constitution enjoin a united and determined front to: “ … [O]or ...

Iraqi Ambassador visits the NMMU Office for International Education - 16/04/2013 Excitement was high at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) Summerstrand South Campus on Wednesday, 10 April when the Ambassador of the Republic of Iraq, Dr Hisham Al-Alawi, came to visit the NMMU. The purpose of this visit was to discuss possible future co-operation in areas such as health, education, engineering, conflict management and human rights.

Why does society think more highly of kids who pay enormous amounts of $$ to sit on their butts in a classroom, learning many things having nothing to do w/their targeted field, for years on end, just to gain a piece of paper that says they are 'smart' and 'qualified', than those who get up every morning, go to a job, work their butts off to learn about trades/business operations, & actually earn $$ while doing it?

COLLEGE EDUCATION rises each year. After reading this post ... what are your thoughts on bringing down the costs of college? Should government play a role? Higher Education: The Coming Shakeout Robert Kuttner Just as markets over-built housing, mispriced mortgages and bid up prices beyond the real financial capacity of homebuyers, America's colleges and universities have over-expanded and over-priced their product. We are getting an education bubble with dynamics similar to the late housing bubble. As more and more students find themselves with debts that exceed the salaries offered by the current job market, colleges have expanded beyond the capacity of their markets. Some kind of shakeout is coming. The question is: what kind. Clearly, our society cannot afford the current rate of expansion of higher education costs. We've reached the limits of piling these expenses onto students. But as resources become more scarce, as the consequences of over-expansion hit, the social risk is that the shoe will pinch ...

Has community engagement become a mainstream part of what universities do? If not, how can it get there? These were some of the questions on the agenda at the 6th International Conference on Higher Education organised by the Global University Network for Innovation in Barcelona, Spain, from 13-15 May. “How do we accelerate the process of transforming universities, which so often seem to be organisations brilliantly designed to resist change?” asked Robert Hollister, dean of the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University in the United States, opening day two of the conference. Community engagement, defined by the Carnegie Foundation as collaboration between higher education institutions and their larger communities for mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources, is a complex area. It can mean different things to different people and institutions may engage in it for different reasons. This can be in the name of social justice or community development, in order to t ...

Language barring domestic partner benefits, requiring reporting on embryonic stem cell research and allowing social workers not to counsel *** if it violated their religious beliefs were all popped into today's Higher Education conference report. SB 0193 includes $24.9 million in funding increases for the state's 15 public universities, well under the $100 million the Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM) said is necessary for the state's workforce needs (See "Senate Rejects BLM Higher Ed Plan," 4/25/13). And none of the $700 million surplus was used to give a bigger boost to the universities. "As we look around the world at what they're doing about education, we're taking a back seat to us, because they're looking to beat us everyday. We're falling behind the eight ball," Sen. Mo HOOD II (D-Detroit) said. Hood said we need to fund Higher Ed for young people, as they'll be "changing our diapers." He then apologized for the visual. Sen. Roger KAHN (R-Saginaw) noted that when he was in college, the diapers h ...

Towards Re-Africanizing African Universities: Who Killed Intellectualism in the Post Colonial Era? Ali A. Mazrui* In Memoriam: This lecture is dedicated to Dr. C. Odhiambo-Mbai who had invited Mazrui to give it, and who was later tragically assassinated in Nairobi, Kenya, on Sunday, September 14, 2003. I am delighted to be lecturing in Taifa Hall after many years. Under the previous political order a lecture by Mazrui at the University of Nairobi needed the permission not just of the Vice Chancellor but also of the Office of the Head of State. I hope that under the new dispensation all that was needed to invite me to give this lecture was the decision of the relevant department. The last time I lectured in Taifa Hall was about ten years ago when Kenyan alumni of the U.S. Fulbright-Scheme were celebrating the 50th anniversary of Fulbright and wanted me as their keynote speaker. My topic was relatively innocuous – “African Universities and the American Model of Higher Education.” Even such a lecture n ...

Dear Editors of National Newspapers and Directors of Radio and Television Stations, Herewith I am sending you the media statement by the secretary of FUTA regarding Termination of Mr. Anuruddha Pradeep Karnasooriya, Probationary Lecturer from the Department of Political Science, University of Sri Jayawardenapura. He is the latest victim of Politicization, loss of academic freedom and autonomy. Mr Anuradha Pradeep has been an outspoken critique of current government policy on education. His forthright and often piercing criticism on how universities are managed, how funding for education has been systematically reduced and the loss of academic freedom has irked many, including the Minister of Higher Education. We believe Mr Anuruddha Pradeep was terminated for his outspoken critique of government policy. FUTA unreservedly condemns such acts against members of the academic community. We shall be grateful to you if arrangements are made to publish attached Media Statement. Thank You! Asst. Secretary FUTA / . ...

ON July 13th, 2012, The House of Representative of Republic of Indonesia passed The Law No. 12/2012 on Higher Education, which will become a legal basis for higher education governance in Indonesia. This passage ignited protests and demonstrations from several student organizations, because many parts of this Law still attempt to liberalize and commercialize higher education in Indonesia. This law is no more than a ‘changing-cloth’ for Law no. 9/2009 on Legal Entities, which has been revoked by The Constitutional Court in 2010. The Indonesian Constitutional Court revoked The Law no. 9/2009 in 2010, with a main reason: the transformation of public university to ‘legal entity university’ implies an expensive cost of ‘tuition fee’ which has to be paid by students or their parents. But although the Law has been withdrawn, the idea of ‘legal entity university’ is still exist in the Law no. 12/2012, covered in the name of ‘higher education autonomy’.

By Nathan Cheatham Live Wire Editor-in-Chief Published April 8th, 2013 Starting next school year Manchester Community College students will have to pay more to enroll for classes. An increase of approximately $94 per semester will be hitting students in all 17 of the Connecticut community colleges and state universities, and Charter Oak, beginning in Fall 2013 to bring in more revenue and cover the losses experienced by budget cuts affecting higher education made in the past school year. Despite the efforts of students across the state, including during an organized rally March 21 at Eastern Connecticut State University, the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education approved the increase of 5.25 percent that same day. “Increasing tuition while cutting services because of budget rescissions is inexcusable,” said MCC SGA president Jonathan Colon. “The state underfunds their 96,000 students whom will be the future of our state an ...

The Chronicle of Higher Education, January 9, 2011 article “Far From Border, U.S. Detains Foreign Students”, by Colin Woodard reveals desperate security measures taken by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Any feat or tactic proposed to neutralize or overwhelm terrorism is at the core of the United States domestic and foreign policy. Counterterrorism is the motivating factor for the detention of any person native born or visitors from foreign nations. Even U.S. citizens’ civil liberties are challenged due to new circumstances within Americana, pacifist leftist organizations, i.e. ACLU publish harsh claims of injustice, yet in regards to our national security the general population prefers to be safe than sorry.

Montreal, April 30th, 2013 - It is with disappointment and disbelief that the the MNA for Laurier Dorion and Official Opposition Critic for Higher Education, Mr. Gerry Sklavounos, learned last week of the possibility that the Head Office of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) may be moved to Doha, Qatar in 2016. Mr. Sklavounos argues that the PQ government should set aside its sovereignist agenda and work in collaboration with the federal government to prevent this move and to ensure that Montreal maintains its international leadership role. “On April 30th, Montreal’s Liberal MNAs reiterated, at the National Assembly, the importance of the ICAO’s headquarters for the city and for all of Canada. Not only is it a symbolic asset that confirms our international leadership, but it is also a major factor in attracting foreign investment. Additionally, we fear that the departure of the ICAO may lead to the departure of other international headquarters based in Montreal, which could, i ...
