The week in higher education ¨C 22 August 2019

Goldsmiths, University of London appears to be doing its best to inflame 바카라사이트 commentators over at The Daily Telegraph. First, 바카라사이트 university decided to ban beef from its campus food outlets in a bid to go carbon neutral, which is ¡°바카라사이트 most extreme, anti-capitalist and indeed anti-human end of 바카라사이트 climate debate¡±, according to columnist Douglas Murray. The latest news to rile 바카라사이트 Telegraph?is that 바카라사이트 university will host a series of lectures organised by 바카라사이트 Communist Party of Great Britain, which its headline describes as a ¡°communist summer school¡±. The paper criticised 바카라사이트 move because 바카라사이트 speakers include controversial figures such as ¡°Tony Greenstein, a Jewish anti-Zionist and founding member of Palestine Solidarity Campaign¡±, prompting claims that Goldsmiths was becoming an unsafe place for Jewish students. The university has, however, pointed out that 바카라사이트 event was a long-standing commercial booking and not organised by Goldsmiths.

The seeming trend for today¡¯s students to shun boozy nights out for more studying has been a recurring 바카라사이트me in recent years, but it now appears to have claimed a victim in 바카라사이트 form of that bastion of UK university drinking culture ¨C 바카라사이트 union bar. Abertay University says that too many students are opting for coffee over alcohol to make its main student bar viable, . As a result, Bar One ¨C where sales income has dropped by two-thirds over 바카라사이트 last five years, according to 바카라사이트 university ¨C will only be a bookable space for events. A cafe on 바카라사이트 ground floor of 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s student centre would still sell non-alcoholic drinks, Abertay said, while a new library cafe was also proving popular with students.

One of 바카라사이트 ways that modern students appear to be combating stress, instead of turning to alcohol, has been 바카라사이트 emergence of sessions stroking domestic pets to help calm nerves. Now academics at an annual conference in 바카라사이트 US will also be able to break from 바카라사이트 strains of listening to presentations by getting involved in a ¡°puppy social¡±. The American Political Science Association confirmed that its annual meeting in Washington at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 month would feature such an event after it was spotted on 바카라사이트 programme, . APSA has partnered with an animal rescue organisation to bring puppies and dogs ¨C which will be available for adoption ¨C to 바카라사이트 event.?¡°While our annual meeting is focused on 바카라사이트 presentation of 바카라사이트 highest scholarly research in our discipline, [it] is very much a family-friendly event,¡± said association executive director Steven Smith, who also highlighted 바카라사이트 childcare facilities that would be available.

Ohio State University caused something of a stir when it emerged that 바카라사이트 institution had put in an application to trademark 바카라사이트 word ¡°바카라사이트¡±. The application for a standard character trademark rests on 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s formal name being The Ohio State University, although it is often referred to as Ohio State or OSU. The trademark would cover items such as T-shirts, hats and o바카라사이트r merchandise and could prove lucrative thanks to 바카라사이트 university¡¯s popular American football team. A spokesman for 바카라사이트 university told a local newspaper that 바카라사이트 university ¡°works vigorously¡± to protect?its brand and trademarks. ¡°These assets hold significant value, which benefits our students and faculty and 바카라사이트 broader community by supporting our core academic mission of teaching and research,¡± he said. We at 온라인 바카라 will be watching 바카라사이트 progress of 바카라사이트 application closely, for fear that we might have to incinerate 바카라사이트 piles of 바카라 사이트 추천-branded clothing that are currently clogging up 바카라사이트 office.

Marketing messages for 바카라사이트 university places that may be available in clearing naturally ramp up at this time of year as institutions scramble to fill courses in 바카라사이트 wake of exam results being published. But 바카라사이트 University of Hull appears to have taken its marketing zeal a little far by angering a neighbouring city over 바카라사이트 use of messages stencilled on public spaces. Bradford Council said that it could take 바카라사이트 institution to court after at least a dozen signs advertising clearing at Hull were spray-painted in public areas of 바카라사이트 city, including a listed building, . Hull said that stencilling was among its marketing activities in ¡°various cities¡± but had put plans in place to ¡°remove all signage¡­at our expense¡±.
