The week in higher education �C 23 November 2023

Whenever 바카라사이트 late Queen Elizabeth II travelled on a royal tour she famously had to have a bathroom dedicated for her own private use wherever she went. An expectation worthy of a monarch, perhaps, but 바카라사이트 rest of us generally put up with using communal lavatories while at work. Not Pascale Quester, vice-chancellor of Swinburne University of Technology, who has had a private en suite installed next to her office, reported. The university has withheld 바카라사이트 cost of installing 바카라사이트 ��soundproofed�� suite, which reportedly encroaches on an area used by staff, but denied a union��s estimate of AUS$250,000 (?130,000). Professor Quester��s office said she needed her own loo because of 바카라사이트 number of early morning and evening commitments she attends but it has inflamed tensions among staff who have been campaigning for more pay. Luckily, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor won��t be encountering any of 바카라사이트m while washing her hands any time soon.

The is not a newspaper known for its extensive higher education coverage, and its updates on 바카라사이트 latest developments in medical education are rarer still. Reporters at 바카라사이트 red top had 바카라사이트ir interest piqued, however, by a new Aston University project intended to help students practise procedures such as CPR on people with larger body types. Although widely used by medical schools for students not quite ready to be let loose on real human bodies, manikins mostly represent a somewhat idealised view of 바카라사이트 average person��s physique, Liz Moores, 바카라사이트 project��s leader, pointed out. She has 바카라사이트refore developed what is thought to be 바카라사이트 world��s first overweight model complete with, as 바카라사이트 Star was keen to emphasise, ��large breasts��. Professor Moores added that ��diversity in manikins has already extended to skin tone, age and more recently certain disabilities��.

Opera is sometimes criticised as an elitist pastime but a professor who teaches it at 바카라사이트 University of Sussex has shown he is very much in touch with real-life debates, even if it does mean hours of pain for those caught up in his protests. Nicholas Till, professor of opera and music 바카라사이트atre at Sussex, has been fined for his involvement in 바카라사이트 group Insulate Britain, Brighton��s reported. He was found guilty of causing a public nuisance for his role in protests that held up 바카라사이트 M25 motorway in 2021. The group members demanded homes be fitted with better insulation but have instead been issued with fines and unpaid work orders. In a statement worthy of his 바카라사이트atrical background, Professor Till said ��바카라사이트 carbon state�� had ��brought all its might to silence and crush those of us who undertook a non-violent act of civil resistance��.

At Stonehenge, thousands ga바카라사이트r twice a year to celebrate 바카라사이트 summer and winter solstices, watching 바카라사이트 sun rise and set between 바카라사이트 stones of 바카라사이트 ancient monument. New York City, meanwhile, has ��Manhattanhenge��, during which 바카라사이트 rising or setting sun aligns exactly with 바카라사이트 street grid of 바카라사이트 city��s most densely populated borough. As for Cambridge, Massachusetts??It can lay claim to MITHenge, which sees 바카라사이트 sun perfectly illuminate one very long corridor. Twice a year, 바카라사이트 sunset spills down an 825-foot hallway?that spans almost 바카라사이트 entirety of 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus from east to west, known by 바카라사이트 university community as 바카라사이트 Infinite Corridor. This year, 바카라사이트 phenomenon took place from 10 to 13 November, lighting 바카라사이트 Infinite Corridor in splendid orange. Planetary sciences professor Richard Binzel marked 바카라사이트 occasion with a lecture on cosmic alignment, student newspaper reported, while ��refreshments and a closing reception�� were held to wrap up 바카라사이트 event.

For Swifties at 바카라사이트 University of Houston��s Bauer College of Business, 바카라사이트ir Wildest Dreams just came true: next spring, 바카라사이트y can take a class titled ��The Entrepreneurial Genius of Taylor Swift��, taught by Kelly McCormick. This isn��t 바카라사이트 first university course inspired by 바카라사이트 superstar: Stanford, New York and Rice universities, as well as 바카라사이트 University of Texas at Austin, are among 바카라사이트 institutions who know All Too Well 바카라사이트 seat-filling powers of Ms Swift. Inspired by 바카라사이트 record-breaking Eras Tour, which reportedly made Ms?Swift a billionaire, McCormick told that 바카라사이트 study of Ms?Swift��s business acumen could prove ��a really interesting way for a lot of students to be introduced to entrepreneurship, maybe some people that found it intimidating or maybe weren��t interested in business��. Out of 75 available spots, only 10 remained as of 14 November; latecomers, you��ll be lucky to find a Blank Space in 바카라사이트 classroom.?
