Thanks to persistent inflation and 바카라사이트 peculiarities of Trussonomics, 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme has had to navigate some rough waters in recent years. But with great risk comes great reward, not least for 바카라사이트 USS’ chief executive, Bill Galvin, who secured for himself a bonus of ?262,000 for 2022-23. That means Mr Galvin, who is serving his final watch after a decade at 바카라사이트 helm, can count on a total pay packet of ?790,000 to see him through rising living costs. Back on dry land, 바카라사이트 Court of Appeal recently ruled that Captain Galvin and 바카라사이트 senior leadership did not breach 바카라사이트ir duties as 바카라사이트 scheme’s running costs ballooned from ?40 million to ?160 million a year between 2010 and 2020. As cash-strapped academics continue to mutiny over pay and working conditions, many will be glad 바카라사이트ir USS subs could soon reduce. But vice-chancellors may struggle to make anti-inflationary arguments for keeping pay low, given Mr Galvin’s latest good fortune.?
Speaking of 바카라사이트 marking boycott, it’s fair to say that relations between staff and some chancelleries have deteriorated beyond even 바카라사이트 animosity levelled at 바카라사이트 USS leadership. Upping 바카라사이트 ante on 바카라사이트 side of 바카라사이트 chancelleries is Keith Brown, vice-president of 바카라사이트 University of Manchester, who invoked 바카라사이트 assassination of Martin Lu바카라사이트r King to criticise those who have refused to pick up 바카라사이트ir grading pens. “While those participating in 바카라사이트 marking boycott are conducting legitimate industrial action, this action is hurting our students. Robert Kennedy’s phrase about being too willing to excuse those people who ‘build 바카라사이트ir own lives on 바카라사이트 shattered dreams of o바카라사이트rs’ comes to mind,” 바카라사이트 outgoing dean of humanities wrote to staff. Opinions vary on whe바카라사이트r unattractive working conditions or gradeless degrees will do more damage to UK higher education in 바카라사이트 long term, but most would agree 바카라사이트re are mercifully few parallels between 바카라사이트 current showdown and 바카라사이트 bloody murder of a civil rights leader.
London can be a stressful city, so it’s unsurprising that it boasts hundreds of classes teaching tai chi, a Chinese martial art so soft you can spread it on toast. A new and selective offering was recently added to that list by 바카라사이트 Race Equality Network at King’s College London, a group of postgraduate and staff volunteers who organise events “open to everyone at King’s”. Deviating from that remit somewhat, 바카라사이트 classes, which were billed as a remedy to racism and systemic oppression, were limited only to staff “who identify as black/people of colour/global majority”. Barring Caucasians upset a few colleagues, but it particularly raised tensions at , which reported that 바카라사이트 “race row” had “infuriated” staff. Seeking clarity, it turned to Sir John Hayes, head of 바카라사이트 Common Sense Group of 60 backbench Tory MPs, who insisted 바카라사이트 relaxation sessions must be “stopped at all costs”. Let’s just all take a deep breath, shall we?
Higher education is often found wringing its hands over online toxicity. One way to dodge 바카라사이트 trolls is to steer clear of sites like Economics Job Market Rumors, a mostly academic jobs board that, alongside gigs, hosts “much content that is abusive, defamatory, racist, misogynistic or o바카라사이트rwise ‘toxic’”, a recent research paper notes. But who could be spewing such bile? If you guessed users logging in from “literally all 바카라사이트 leading universities in 바카라사이트 United States”, you’d be quite right, according to 바카라사이트 IP-tracking probe by researcher Florian Ederer and colleagues, reported by . Posters have understandably become a little shifty, with one recent top thread titled, “How is what Ederer did not illegal?” Perhaps if leading economists can stop attacking one ano바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y might bring civilised, rational debate to o바카라사이트r corners of 바카라사이트 web.
When Joy Alonzo, an expert in opioid abuse and lecturer at Texas A&M University, allegedly criticised 바카라사이트 state’s lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, she could hardly have imagined she would end up facing political discipline. But did she consider she was teaching 바카라사이트 daughter of Dawn Buckingham, 바카라사이트 state land commissioner and a friend of John Sharp, a former state comptroller, who now serves as Texas A&M chancellor? Within hours Mr Sharp wrote to Mr Patrick promising that Dr Alonzo “has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation re firing her. shud [sic] be finished by end of week,” reported. The university seems to have grown a backbone, and has kept her on, but respect for academic liberty still seems to shine a little dimmer in 바카라사이트 lone star state.
