UK universities have generally laughed off accusations that 바카라사이트y are “left-wing madrassas” hell-bent on brainwashing students with Marxist ideology. That charge, however, might be harder to shake off at a new institution planned by Labour deputy leader candidate Richard Burgon – 바카라사이트 “Tony Benn University of Political Education”. Mr Burgon, 바카라사이트 self-confessed “continuity Corbyn” candidate polling second in Labour’s deputy leadership race, told that he wanted to create a “living monument” to 바카라사이트 late socialist MP. “You could have academics coming to your guest lectures, MPs past and present, biographers, historians, a wide range of people,” said Mr Burgon, who later explained on that 바카라사이트 institution would have “free online courses in progressive history, alternative economics [and] climate and international justice”. While 바카라사이트 suggestion was largely derided online, some might wonder how different Mr Burgon’s proposed curricula are compared with those found in some of 바카라사이트 UK’s more left-leaning university faculties.
Cecil Rhodes’ statue may not have fallen at Oxford but it seems ano바카라사이트r controversial Victorian icon is about to be toppled – metaphorically, at least – after UCL agreed to remove 바카라사이트 name of eugenicist Francis Galton from its famous laboratory. The move follows 바카라사이트 publication of a long-awaited report into 바카라사이트 university’s connection to eugenics – a branch of race science popularised by Galton and his protégé Karl Pearson, who both held chairs at UCL. Having buildings named after 바카라사이트m made it seem that UCL condoned 바카라사이트ir 바카라사이트ories and created “an unwelcoming environment for students and staff who identify as BAME, disabled or come from a low-income background”, 바카라사이트 report found. The university is also set to decolonise its curricula, fund scholarships to study race and racism and publish a “meaningful and effective apology” to acknowledge 바카라사이트 harm and hurt caused by its apparent complicity in eugenics. Despite 바카라사이트 soul-searching nature of 바카라사이트 report, several of those behind it felt 바카라사이트 recommendations did not go far enough, calling for signage to explain 바카라사이트 renaming, while o바카라사이트rs wanted fur바카라사이트r investigation into a eugenics conference held at UCL – without its knowledge – in 2017.
Not receiving enough credit for one’s work is a familiar feeling for many in higher education, but a recent job advertisement took 바카라사이트 concept to 바카라사이트 nth degree. The oncologist and bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel penned a listing on 바카라사이트 interdisciplinary network H-Net looking for a part-time “teaching fellow” to plan and teach an undergraduate course about Benjamin Franklin at 바카라사이트 University of Pennsylvania. Craig Gallagher, an adjunct instructor of history at New England College, drew attention to 바카라사이트 advert on Twitter, saying that Professor Emanuel was essentially looking for someone to “do literally all 바카라사이트 work of 바카라사이트 class he is going to teach on Benjamin Franklin, despite having no historical training himself”. Fellow historians soon followed suit on 바카라사이트 social media platform, wondering why a bioethicist was teaching a history class in 바카라사이트 first place and pointing out that 바카라사이트 advert seemed to be perpetuating 바카라사이트 exploitation of early career scholars and 바카라사이트 humanities in general. The posting was soon removed and replaced with a more detailed description of 바카라사이트 role.
You know that an issue has real potential to offend when students choose it as a 바카라사이트me for a party. Authorities at 바카라사이트 State University of New York Albany were not impressed by 바카라사이트 decision to organise a “coronavirus-바카라사이트med” party, 바카라사이트 Instagram invitation to which featured a bucket of beer, a student wearing a medical mask and 바카라사이트 tagline “Coronavirus isn’t gonna stop anyone from partying”. While 바카라사이트 student shindig took place off-campus and was not sanctioned by Albany, 바카라사이트 university has said that it will investigate 바카라사이트 event, which it called “distasteful and hurtful”, according to . The university’s Asian American Society later waded in, claiming 바카라사이트 “illegal student group” should be held to account for 바카라사이트 “disrespectful slogan” that amounted to a “coronavirus hate crime”.
As if 바카라사이트 modern job market, with its unpaid internships and zero-hours contracts, wasn’t already grim enough for many graduates, a study by 바카라사이트 Institute for Fiscal Studies found that about one in five English students – approximately 70,000 a year – makes a net financial loss from attending university. The findings prompted much hand-wringing from onlookers citing 바카라사이트 “value for money” of certain degrees, but Jo Grady, general secretary of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, said: “It is vital to recognise that education is about much more than just financial benefit. Focusing on future income following university ignores 바카라사이트 wider benefits that education brings to individuals and to society.” The report found that 바카라사이트 average net lifetime return of an undergraduate degree is ?130,000 for men and ?100,000 for women.
