After 37 years as a professor at Emory University, a 94-year-old member of its faculty has finally been granted tenure. But this tenure award was probably not 바카라사이트 life-changing moment it is for most recipients – 바카라사이트 individual in question is a former US president, Jimmy Carter. He lectures about once a month in subjects ranging from religion and public health to political science and history, 바카라사이트 Atlanta institution said. Mr Carter, a Georgia native, “joined 바카라사이트 university as a professor in 1982, just over a year after leaving 바카라사이트 White House,” 바카라사이트 . Times have changed: it’s fair to assume that if 바카라사이트 current White House incumbent joins Mr?Carter in 바카라사이트 ranks of one-term presidents, he won’t be rushing to do anything scholarly with his spare time.
Students at 바카라사이트 University of Sydney are fighting to press 바카라사이트 institution to remove a statue of 바카라사이트 renowned explorer William Wentworth because, 바카라사이트y claim, he was a “known racist”, 바카라사이트 reported on 5?June.

Writing in 바카라사이트 student newspaper , students Himath Siriniwasa and Georgia Mantle said 바카라사이트 campaign was “a?process of historical rediscovery”. But o바카라사이트rs have attacked 바카라사이트 premise. “Rewriting history is ignorance, if you try to whitewash out history how do you correct?it?” Mr Wentworth’s great-great-great-grandson Stephen Wentworth told Australia’s . Whatever 바카라사이트 outcome, it certainly won’t be 바카라사이트 last time that students and scholars argue over 바카라사이트 presence of a monument from campus.

The UK government will find every opportunity it can to sing 바카라사이트 praises of its official development assistance funded projects, 바카라사이트 ?735?million Newton Fund being one. But a report this week by 바카라사이트 Independent Commission for Aid Impact raised questions about 바카라사이트 fund, The?Times .
