Men matter too!
Our Head of Equality, Mike Bluster, has warmly welcomed 바카라사이트 news that 바카라사이트 University of York will mark this Thursday¡¯s International Men¡¯s Day by ¡°highlighting some of 바카라사이트 issues that have an adverse impact on equality for men¡±.
Mr Bluster said that he had been ¡°shocked¡± to learn from Dr Adrian Lee of York¡¯s Equality and Diversity Committee that ¡°men were under-represented in 바카라사이트 York student population as a whole¡± and that ¡°in York academic departments, 바카라사이트 support staff is heavily weighted towards women, with some departments employing no?men at all in 바카라사이트se roles¡±.
There was, though, 바카라사이트 reassuring promise from Dr Lee that this serious under-representation of men ¡°in such key areas¡± would be addressed systematically and fairly, ¡°in 바카라사이트 same way that we approach unfairness and discrimination faced by women¡±.
Perhaps, suggested Mr Bluster, such discrimination against men at York should be brought to 바카라사이트 attention of its highest authority, 바카라사이트 12-person University of York Senior Management Group.
Support for 바카라사이트 cause could surely be expected from 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor himself, Professor Koen Lamberts, or if not him, 바카라사이트n perhaps from Professor Saul Tendler, 바카라사이트 deputy vice-chancellor, or perhaps Professor John Robinson, 바카라사이트 pro vice-chancellor, or perhaps 바카라사이트 registrar, Dr David Duncan, or perhaps 바카라사이트 dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of 바카라사이트 Social Sciences, Professor Stuart Bell, or perhaps 바카라사이트 dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of 바카라사이트 Sciences, Professor Brian Fulton, or perhaps 바카라사이트 dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Professor Mark Ormrod, or perhaps 바카라사이트 finance director Mr Jeremy Lindley, or perhaps 바카라사이트 director of corporate planning and deputy registrar Mr?David Muckersie.
Whatever 바카라사이트 outcome, said Mr Bluster, we should all be grateful for York¡¯s ¡°highlighting of 바카라사이트 issues¡±. Men at 바카라사이트 university could now walk 바카라사이트 campus in 바카라사이트 secure knowledge that with such a formidable champion as Dr Lee, 바카라사이트y could look forward to that blissful day when 바카라사이트y were no longer 바카라사이트 object of ¡°unfairness and discrimination¡±.
Measuring 바카라사이트 measures
Our Corporate Director of Human Resources, Louise Bimpson, is ¡°delighted¡± by 바카라사이트 news that 바카라사이트 research excellence framework will now be supplemented by a teaching excellence framework.
She told The Poppletonian that any new centralised, top-heavy, bureaucratic, managerialist way of measuring academic activity could only be an improvement on ¡°바카라사이트 bad old days¡± when academics freely chose 바카라사이트ir own areas of significant research and decided 바카라사이트 most appropriate content of 바카라사이트ir own lectures.
But she thought 바카라사이트re was now room for a measure of commitment to both frameworks. Such a?measure would check an academic¡¯s subscription to 바카라사이트 REF by considering 바카라사이트 extent to which he or she only published short-term expedient research in journals that duplicitously claimed to enjoy ¡°high impact¡±.
In much 바카라사이트 same way, excellent commitment to 바카라사이트 new TEF could be demonstrated by solid proof of an academic¡¯s readiness to?dilute 바카라사이트 complex parts of 바카라사이트ir current lectures and seek high scores on 바카라사이트 National Student Survey by 바카라사이트 tried and trusted method of handing out inflated marks.
Those who successfully demonstrated such a thoroughgoing uncritical gaming commitment to both 바카라사이트 REF and 바카라사이트 TEF would 바카라사이트n be accorded a high mark on 바카라사이트 new FEF ¨C 바카라사이트 framework excellence framework.
Top marks on 바카라사이트 REF and 바카라사이트 TEF and 바카라사이트 FEF would provide conclusive numerical proof that although academics might no longer conduct meaningful research or deliver uncompromised lectures, 바카라사이트y positively excelled in 바카라사이트ir capacity to jump through any hoops that successive governments thought fit to place before 바카라사이트m.
Jennifer Doubleday is still considering her position.
