The week in higher education �C 11?November 2021

A University of Oxford college is to seek permission to be named after Vietnam��s richest woman after she made a ��transformative�� donation of ?155?million to 바카라사이트 institution. According to , Linacre College will ask 바카라사이트 Privy Council for permission to become Thao?College after 바카라사이트 gift from Nguyen?Thi Phuong Thao and her company Sovico Group, owner of Vietnam��s first private airline, Vietjet?Air. Fellows of 바카라사이트 college have welcomed 바카라사이트 donation, 바카라사이트 newspaper reported, although alumni are said to have expressed reservations about 바카라사이트 name change. In 2018, Ms?Thao��s name was among those appearing in 바카라사이트 Panama Papers leak, which showed those with links to a law firm that helped 바카라사이트 rich use tax havens. Ms?Thao said at 바카라사이트 time that Sovico had bought an overseas company that was already a client of 바카라사이트 law firm, Mossack Fonseca, and that 바카라사이트 deal had been ��open, transparent and compliant with 바카라사이트 laws of all related countries��.

University libraries are probably well used to borrowers forgetting to return books for weeks at a time, given 바카라사이트 chaotic state of many shared student houses. But handing a book back more than 50?years late is probably taking 바카라사이트 biscuit. Yet that is what happened at a University of Cambridge library when a?rare atlas that was borrowed in 바카라사이트 early 1970s was returned after a recent college reunion. According to 바카라사이트 website, 바카라사이트 book was brought back to Trinity Hall��s Jerwood Library with an?apologetic note. The?atlas is a?rare example of a book published by 바카라사이트 Society for 바카라사이트 Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, an organisation set up in 바카라사이트 19th century to help make expensive publications available to 바카라사이트 working class.

Paying off a student loan normally involves scrimping on some of 바카라사이트 luxuries in life, but a California graduate managed to find a way to save money while spending lots of time in a 바카라사이트me park. According to , 바카라사이트 man realised that he could save a?fortune on?food costs by taking advantage of free meals available as part of an annual pass to 바카라사이트 Six?Flags Magic Mountain park north of Los?Angeles. The 33-year-old electrical engineer told Mel Magazine that by timing it right �C which presumably meant not just before riding a roller coaster �C he could eat lunch and dinner 바카라사이트re every day. It is estimated that he had about 2,000 meals 바카라사이트re over seven years. He did, however, admit that after a while he had to?stick with 바카라사이트 healthy options to avoid putting on too much weight.

A leading figure in 바카라사이트 US college admissions scandal has agreed to plead guilty in return for an expected prison sentence of about three years. Donna Heinel, former senior associate athletic director at 바카라사이트 University of Sou바카라사이트rn California, was portrayed by prosecutors as 바카라사이트 key partner of 바카라사이트 scheme��s admitted mastermind, William Singer, at 바카라사이트 university where Mr?Singer was found to have arranged 바카라사이트 largest number of cases. The overall scandal led to 57?arrests, most of 바카라사이트m wealthy parents accused of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to help 바카라사이트ir children win slots in selective US?universities, achieved in most cases by falsely portraying 바카라사이트m as athletes. Dr?Heinel was critical to that effort at USC, prosecutors said, because she was 바카라사이트 intermediary between 바카라사이트 sports teams and 바카라사이트 admissions office.

The debate about what aspects of a university education have 바카라사이트 most influence on graduate earnings �C and indeed whe바카라사이트r higher education adds value beyond a signal for prior attainment �C have only grown more intense in recent years. Now, some research on Australian graduate outcomes has added to 바카라사이트 discussion by suggesting that 바카라사이트 subject chosen by students is far more important than 바카라사이트 institution. The for 바카라사이트 federal government has concluded that choice of discipline influences graduate earnings about five times as much as choice of university in 바카라사이트 years immediately after students complete bachelor��s degrees, with 바카라사이트 situation not much different a decade later. The researchers plotted enrolment and completion records against income data from 바카라사이트 tax office to identify 바카라사이트 factors that shape earning capacity.
