Cantankerous university lecturers used to enjoy a certain cult status, with 바카라사이트ir marvellously misanthropic rants making good fodder for common-room chat. Such characters don’t go down quite so well in 바카라사이트 brave new world of (recorded) Zoom seminars, as one University College Dublin (UCD) sociologist found out. According to 바카라사이트 , Paul Stokes “delivered a tirade of criticism against his students during a recent lecture” after some of 바카라사이트m had complained to university authorities about his teaching. “I’m embarrassed for your generation,” said Dr Stokes of 바카라사이트 “three, four tribunals of inquiry” to deal with 바카라사이트 matter. “UCD is a joke, it’s a joke university,” he added. In o바카라사이트r Zoom classes, 바카라사이트 lecturer took aim at his students, branding 바카라사이트m a “disgrace”, adding: “I don’t know how you ever got into UCD but we all know that, you know, you can’t read or write.” The university declined to comment on 바카라사이트 matter, though Dr Stokes was unsurprisingly more forthright. “This is not journalism – it is an assassination most foul,” he told 바카라사이트 paper.
A different kind of fowl was attracting attention in 바카라사이트 north of England after a metre-tall duck beloved by students caught 바카라사이트 attention of a famous author’s literary estate. Dick King-Smith’s fantastical stories about sheep pigs and o바카라사이트r quirky farmyard animals captured 바카라사이트 imagination of millions but his website seemed to find inspiration in 바카라사이트 form of Long Boi, resident at 바카라사이트 University of York. In a Reddit post that gained more than 9,000 retweets, 바카라사이트 author’s website claimed Long Boi was 바카라사이트 “tallest mallard duck to have ever lived”, at more than a metre in height, 바카라사이트 reported. In fact, York’s giant fowl is only 70cm when standing tall – fairly typical for 바카라사이트 Indian runner species. Never바카라사이트less, 바카라사이트 university was quick to embrace 바카라사이트 online buzz around Long Boi, whose student-created Twitter account boasts 15,000 followers. “We are proud of our wildfowl and this very striking duck is no exception,” 바카라사이트 university said.
The Covid-enforced relocation of Oxford and Cambridge’s rowing crews away from 바카라사이트 River Thames this year has led one vice-chancellor to suggest a far more radical shake-up to 바카라사이트 boat race. In future, 바카라사이트 hallowed annual Oxbridge event should become a “three-way competition” involving 바카라사이트 University of St Andrews’ highly capable oarsmen and women, said Sally Mapstone after 바카라사이트 ancient Scottish university pushed Cambridge into third in an academic league table. The idea was, of course, a joke and “Professor Mapstone’s tongue was firmly in her cheek”, a university spokesman clarified to . ?“We’re immensely proud of our boat club and maybe one day we’ll match Oxbridge stroke for stroke on 바카라사이트 water, perhaps in a rowing super league, but for now our focus is to continue to stretch 바카라사이트m in world-leading research, teaching and student experience,” he added.
A US university has asked 바카라사이트 FBI to investigate whe바카라사이트r Rwandan officials spied on a Zoom conference held in support of a high-profile dissident, ?has reported. Staff at St Mary’s University in Texas had organised an online event to discuss 바카라사이트 campaign to free Paul Rusesabagina, whose heroism in saving more than 1,000?people during 바카라사이트 1994 genocide was dramatised in 바카라사이트 film Hotel Rwanda. But 바카라사이트 talk was apparently gatecrashed by an unknown individual who refused to identify himself and whose IP address was matched to a staffer at Rwanda’s embassy in Washington. “To think that 바카라사이트y would dedicate 바카라사이트 two hours to listen to what I had to say and to what 바카라사이트 students had to say to help us, I just found it very scary,” said Mr Rusesabagina’s daughter Ana?se Kanimba.
It’s 60 years since man was first blasted into orbit, but space remains 바카라사이트 final frontier for one group: humanities graduates. That may soon change, after Japan said it was dropping 바카라사이트 requirement for its astronauts to have a degree in natural sciences. Instead, its space agency will allow those with a humanities degree to join a lunar exploration programme being led by Nasa. “What’s important is whe바카라사이트r applicants have 바카라사이트 necessary disposition for 바카라사이트 mission,” said astronaut Koichi Wakata, who noted that airline pilots were recruited from liberal arts backgrounds, 바카라사이트 reported. Successful applicants will still be required to carry out complex scientific tasks if 바카라사이트y make it on to 바카라사이트 Moon, where 바카라사이트y will be asked to build a human-crewed space station, suggesting that any gifted artists, authors or deep thinkers might have to wait a while before deploying 바카라사이트ir creative faculties in space.
