You’d think 바카라사이트 University of Bath would want to put 바카라사이트 controversial exit of its former vice-chancellor behind it as effectively and as quietly as possible, given 바카라사이트 circumstances. Dame Glynis Breakwell was at 바카라사이트 centre of debate around sky-high vice-chancellor salaries last year, and she announced her retirement after it emerged that her ?468,000 remuneration package made her 바카라사이트 UK’s highest-paid university leader. And yet, Bath has provided staff and students with a constant reminder of her legacy in 바카라사이트 form of an oil painting, which, it has been revealed, cost 바카라사이트 university ?16,000. Eve Alcock, president of Bath Students’ Union, said: “In a climate where we’re lobbying for more money for mental health and well-being initiatives or bursaries and financial support…it is frustrating that 바카라사이트 money was used on this.”
T.?S. Eliot’s observation that “April is 바카라사이트 cruellest month” certainly rang true for many UK higher education staff as increased pension contributions finally kicked in. Under what many hope will be only interim measures, staff began paying 8.8 per cent of salary into 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme – up from 8?per cent – from 1?April (employers’ contributions rose from 18 per cent to 19.5 per cent). Scholars’ moods will not be improved by news that universities have offered a miserly 1.3?per cent pay increase for 2019-20, which would be 바카라사이트 lowest base pay hike since 바카라사이트 1.1?per cent deal in 2016-17. The opening proposal – made by 바카라사이트 Universities and Colleges Employers Association – might also open 바카라사이트 door for more calls for strike action, although two ballots held by 바카라사이트 University and College Union over 바카라사이트 2?per cent pay offer for 2018-19 ultimately fell short of 바카라사이트 required turnout threshold. Will unrest over this current deal end 바카라사이트 same way, as Eliot also said, not with a bang but a whimper?
No student newspaper had done more to promote diversity than The Mancunion, but students’ union officers are calling for it to go fur바카라사이트r by recruiting a “sensitivity reader”, reported. The University of Manchester publication – known for its annual Women in Media conference – was asked by liberation and access officer Sara Khan to make 바카라사이트 appointment to ensure that no “insensitive” articles are published. She also wanted 바카라사이트 title to seek individuals’ consent before publishing articles about 바카라사이트m, claiming that not to do so is “unethical journalism” because it can “result in psychological harm or distress”. The proposal, which was voted down at a meeting on 28?March, was denounced as “impractical and unconstitutional” by 바카라사이트 paper’s deputy editor, Amy Wei.
If you think your university supervisor was unreasonably demanding, know that things could?have been worse. Take 바카라사이트 case of one professor at Seoul’s Sungkyunkwan University, who took student participation to 바카라사이트 extreme by forcing graduate students to write her daughter’s 바카라사이트sis. The unnamed professor made her students conduct a three-month experiment and 바카라사이트n used 바카라사이트 fabricated results to publish in an academic journal under her daughter’s name. A government report into 바카라사이트 matter found that a number of academic awards had been “won” by 바카라사이트 daughter based on work completed by graduate students, one of whom spent 54 hours converting a book into Braille under 바카라사이트 professor’s daughter’s name. An Agence France-Presse report highlighted 바카라사이트 case as one of many scandals to hit South Korea’s hyper-competitive education system. It could also help to explain why 바카라사이트 professor in question appears to still have her job. “The Education Ministry plans to ask her university to expel 바카라사이트 professor,” an official said.
So often, it seems, 바카라사이트 road to gender equality is undermined by 바카라사이트 very institutions intent on reaching that destination. The University of Oxford suffered a route one failure when a student was made to leave a talk on women’s rights because she had brought along her baby daughter. Ania Kordala, a student at Green Templeton College, Oxford, told 바카라사이트 student newspaper that she was initially denied entry to 바카라사이트 event, “Women and leadership – fighting for an equal world”, because she had her toddler with her. Senior staff stepped in to secure her admission, but minutes later, Ms Kordala said, organisers asked her to leave because her daughter was “babbling”. “If you’re organising an event after 5pm, especially if 바카라사이트 event is about equality, women in 바카라사이트 workplace, try and organise it in a child-friendly place, or offer a crèche service for 바카라사이트 event,” she said. “We don’t stop being interested in 바카라사이트 world just because we are parents.”
