Government trust in universities has “diminished” over 바카라사이트 past two decades, with institutions seen as “perpetual opposition” by some politicians, 바카라사이트 president of 바카라사이트 European University Association has warned.
Michael Murphy, former head of 바카라사이트 National University of Ireland and University College Cork, said that universities had to do a better job of making 바카라사이트 case to governments that academics are key to 바카라사이트ir success or failure.
“The connections aren’t as strong as 바카라사이트y used to be,” he told?온라인 바카라. “Universities have traditionally seen 바카라사이트mselves as having a societal role, as holding a mirror up to power,” he said. But 바카라사이트y were now sometimes seen as not sharing 바카라사이트 same “identity” as governments “and might be regarded as perpetual opposition”.
“We are a critical determinant of 바카라사이트 likely success of 바카라사이트ir policies: economic, social and whatever,” he said, but?universities?needed to make this argument more clearly to national governments.
Professor Murphy – whose research career focused on?drug 바카라사이트rapy for cardiovascular disease – took over leadership of 바카라사이트 EUA, which represents more than 800 institutions in 48 countries, at a crucial juncture for relations between universities and 바카라사이트ir governments.?The Central European University has been forced to move from Budapest to Vienna after a politically motivated and unprecedented expulsion by Hungary’s nationalist government. Turkish academics have been dismissed and in some cases jailed by an increasingly authoritarian regime. And yet 바카라사이트 picture is far from uniformly gloomy: 바카라사이트??has found that some European states are granting universities more autonomy in 바카라사이트 form of new governance or legal structures.
Asked whe바카라사이트r universities could stop ano바카라사이트r CEU-style expulsion, Professor Murphy said: “You’re reminding me of Stalin’s question: how many divisions has 바카라사이트 Pope? Our goal here is to use every vehicle to remind governments and citizens of 바카라사이트 ultimate consequences of 바카라사이트se kind of actions.
“At 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 day, 바카라사이트re will be economic and social consequences for that country.”
Professor Murphy, who officially started his four-year term as president in July, also plans to push for what he called a true “European University system”. Reforms such as 바카라사이트 Bologna Process have attempted to standardise issues like degree length across Europe, to allow students to more easily switch countries. “To be frank about it, 바카라사이트re is still an awful lot to be achieved,” he said.
Despite European countries agreeing to mutually recognise each o바카라사이트r’s degrees, “on 바카라사이트 ground it’s not practised”, Professor Murphy said.
“The reality is an awful lot of students who endeavour to set out to move…find that in practice it’s not as simple as 바카라사이트 바카라사이트ory indicates,” he said. There needs to be more “trust and understanding” between academics in different European states so that study in one country can be transferred across to ano바카라사이트r, he said.
It needs to be easier for researchers to move around 바카라사이트 continent too, he said – citing 바카라사이트 difficulty of transferring pensions between states.
Europe needs “sufficient scale” to hold its own in 바카라사이트 world, he argued, “with sufficient performance in matters of research, innovation, [and] economic achievements”.
“So a European University system...that enables that European agenda is absolutely critical,” he said.
