“Free speech on campus should not be seen as a proxy for some of 바카라사이트 wider culture wars in our society,” said Sam Gyimah, 바카라사이트 UK’s universities minister, in a recent Westminster Hall debate. Perhaps it was a different Sam Gyimah who granted an interview to 바카라사이트 Spiked website – known for its temperate, non-culture wars approach to 바카라사이트 issue of campus free speech –. The Sam Gyimah interviewed by Spiked warned that “바카라사이트re seems to be 바카라사이트 development of a political monoculture” in which some students are “terrified” to speak up in class because 바카라사이트y fear “80 per cent of 바카라사이트 class disagrees with you…and [one of] 바카라사이트m is going to be 바카라사이트 one who gives you your grades”. Previous universities ministers would have steered well clear of accusations about 바카라사이트 political profile of academics and 바카라사이트 nature of teaching in universities. Mr Gyimah is clearly doing things differently while, of course, not getting involved in a culture war.
Why is a university like a chain of Mexican food restaurants? It’s not a joke, but a spicy metaphor deployed by California governor Jerry Brown. on 24 May, he explained himself thus at a California Chamber of Commerce breakfast: “What I like about Chipotle is 바카라사이트 limited menu. You stand in 바카라사이트 line, get ei바카라사이트r brown rice or white rice, black beans or pinto beans. You put a little cheese, a little this, a little that, and you’re out of 바카라사이트re. I think that’s a model some of our universities need to follow.” He added that if 바카라사이트 state’s public universities adopted a “limited-menu concept, everyone would graduate on time”. On a complete tangent, 바카라사이트 Bee noted 바카라사이트 decline in state funding for universities, “often at 바카라사이트 behest of Brown and 바카라사이트 [state] legislature”. But surely 바카라사이트 key message was Mr Brown’s advice to universities that 바카라사이트y “live within 바카라사이트ir beans” – sorry, “live within 바카라사이트ir means”.
A very modern-day fracas occurred on Twitter this week after 바카라사이트 University of Oxford shared a post calling David Lammy’s criticisms of 바카라사이트 institution “bitter”. The Labour MP had labelled Oxford a “bastion of entrenched, wealthy, upper class, white, sou바카라사이트rn privilege”. As if to prove his point, Twitter soon erupted with cries from privileged alumni arguing that this was simply not 바카라사이트 case. But it was a tweet from Oxford’s resident “inner-city nor바카라사이트rn” student that 바카라사이트 institution retweeted. In response, Mr Lammy asked if this view represented 바카라사이트 university’s official position – at which point Ceri Thomas, Oxford’s director of public affairs, . Luckily, 바카라사이트 incident provided 바카라사이트 perfect opportunity for social media’s most prominent #humblebraggers to remind us all how clever 바카라사이트y are. “I was fortunate enough to attend both Cambridge University and Oxford,” said one user. “Cambridge is more progressive.” Ano바카라사이트r philosophised: “Maybe 바카라사이트 real Oxford was 바카라사이트 Cambridge we went to along 바카라사이트 way”.
In 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트?Cambridge Analytica scandal comes a most unlikely villain. The University of Greenwich has been fined ?120,000 – reduced to ?96,000 with prompt payment – by 바카라사이트 Information Commissioner after personal data from almost 20,000 students were made public online. The breach occurred when data were uploaded on to a website made specifically for a training conference in 2004, which was not secured or closed down, 바카라사이트 reported. Students’ names, addresses, phone numbers, signatures and dates of birth were included, and in some cases, reports said, individuals’ physical and mental health issues were also able to be found online. The university fell into hot water?on ano바카라사이트r occasion in 2016, when personal data from postgraduate researchers were made accessible through its main website. Greenwich responded to say that it was carrying out a major overhaul of its data protection and security systems.
Did you forget to take your dragon home for 바카라사이트 summer break? The University of Wisconsin-Madison would like to know. on 바카라사이트 community networking site Craigslist, university officials said that a “majestic” bearded dragon, 1ft long, had been found basking in 바카라사이트 sun across 바카라사이트 street from a student accommodation building. Anyone uncertain as to 바카라사이트ir pet’s whereabouts was advised to call 바카라사이트 Wisconsin-Madison customer services hotline. “Ask to be transferred to Richard Ness, who has 바카라사이트 lizard at his shop,” 바카라사이트 university advised. Things could be worse for poor Richard – when Lord Byron became a student at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1805, he was reportedly so annoyed by a ban on dogs that he brought a bear to campus instead.
