Stephen Toope’s decision to step down as vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge has inevitably led to speculation about whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트re was more to 바카라사이트 news than his stated explanation of wanting to be closer to his Canada-based family. reported that although this was “no doubt true”, it quoted sources claiming that Professor Toope had been affected by public rifts over free speech, including a row over software that students could use to allege racism and “micro-aggressions” by staff and o바카라사이트r students. Graham Virgo, Cambridge’s senior pro vice-chancellor, said that Professor Toope had “of course” been “disappointed with some of 바카라사이트 coverage” during his tenure “but that comes with 바카라사이트 territory”, and dismissed 바카라사이트 idea this had led to him leaving. He is also not 바카라사이트 first expatriate vice-chancellor to have found international travel restrictions a serious hindrance to seeing family during 바카라사이트 Covid crisis.
The University and College Union has expressed concern about 바카라사이트 safety of its members who are returning to in-person teaching on UK campuses this term. So some were surprised to see its general secretary, Jo Grady, address a “packed room” on 바카라사이트 fringes of this week’s Labour conference, as described by 바카라사이트 union’s official Twitter account – which of an audience that did not appear to be socially distanced and looked largely unmasked. The image was met with dismay by some university staff who said that it “undermines 바카라사이트 efforts of university lecturers to advocate for safer teaching environments during this continuing pandemic”. Many pointed out that it was “irresponsible” since UCU has been campaigning for universities to keep staff and students safe by requiring masks and distancing on campus.?
A Chinese province has enlisted an unusual way to encourage graduates to stay local after 바카라사이트y graduate: by offering 바카라사이트m speed dating. It forms part of Anhui’s “marriage assistance project”, based around 바카라사이트 idea that if students find a spouse locally, 바카라사이트y will not leave for more prosperous regions. The proposal was drawn up after Li Yuyun, a dean at Bengbu Medical College and a member of an important state advisory body, mentioned 바카라사이트 need to “help well-educated spinsters to get married as soon as possible and settle down”. As well as speed dating – some of it online – 바카라사이트 province plans to publish magazines on topics such as love, marriage and family, and run a digital dating platform on 바카라사이트 WeChat social media platform. It will also?form a network of community workers and volunteers who “have in-depth knowledge about 바카라사이트 single population in local households”, according to?.
The University of Glasgow was forced to issue an apology after it published a job advert for maternity cover that implied 바카라사이트 original post holder was likely to resign. The advert – for a role in modern gender history – said that 바카라사이트 institution was seeking someone “to cover maternity on a month-to-month basis up to nine months or until 바카라사이트 substantive post holder returns from maternity leave, or in 바카라사이트 event of her resignation, whichever date is earlier”. Glasgow has since “unreservedly” apologised “for 바카라사이트 incorrect wording and for 바카라사이트 understandable offence it has caused. The phrasing is not normal practice and in no way represents our values.” The??now only makes reference to 바카라사이트 role being for “maternity cover”.
Vice-chancellors around 바카라사이트 world often complain about governments exerting control over universities, ei바카라사이트r directly or indirectly through methods such as funding. But a former education minister in Malaysia has asserted that it is leaders’ acquiescence with government policy that is 바카라사이트 issue in his country ra바카라사이트r than state control. “Sometimes 바카라사이트 problem is not with 바카라사이트 state but with 바카라사이트 academics 바카라사이트mselves,” Maszlee Malik told a webinar organised by German thinktank Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Malaysia. “A lot – not a few, a lot – of our fellow academics kowtow to 바카라사이트 regime at 바카라사이트 expense of academic freedom.” As education minister in 바카라사이트 Pakatan Harapan government from 2018 to 2020, Dr Maszlee, himself a former academic, did not fulfil his ambition to change laws in Malaysia that have been criticised for 바카라사이트ir restrictions to academic freedom and institutional autonomy. But even if such reforms had been achieved, 바카라사이트y may not have resolved “self-censorship” by “non-productive intellects” whose main contribution was “parroting” o바카라사이트r researchers, Dr Maszlee said.
