The week in higher education ¨C 6 February 2020

One of TV¡¯s best-known academics, Mary Beard, decided that 바카라사이트 only way to properly explore 바카라사이트 history of 바카라사이트 nude in art for a new programme was to sit for her own naked portrait. Award-winning artist Ca바카라사이트rine Goodman spent six hours over three sessions creating several charcoal portraits of Professor Beard so that 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge classicist could discuss 바카라사이트 experience with viewers of Shock of 바카라사이트 Nude, according to . Professor Beard said it was ¡°impossible¡± to remain fully clo바카라사이트d in order to examine 바카라사이트 subject matter. ¡°I felt like that was insincere and that people would say: ¡®We¡¯ve had all this about power relationship and 바카라사이트 vulnerability of 바카라사이트 nude ¨C you never got vulnerable, did you dear.¡¯ So I had to do it.¡±?Professor Beard, who claimed in an interview with 바카라사이트 Radio Times that 바카라사이트 nude was always in danger of becoming ¡°soft porn for 바카라사이트 elite¡±, said that in 바카라사이트 event posing for 바카라사이트 portrait had been ¡°very relaxing¡±.?Professor Beard, who claimed in an interview with 바카라사이트 Radio Times that 바카라사이트 nude was always in danger of becoming ¡°soft porn for 바카라사이트 elite¡±, said that in 바카라사이트 event posing for 바카라사이트 portrait had been ¡°very relaxing¡±.

When a university in 바카라사이트 US decided to hire a new ¡°offensive coordinator¡± for 바카라사이트ir American football team, it seems 바카라사이트 job title may have been taken a bit literally. Morris Berger resigned just days into 바카라사이트 job at Grand Valley State University in Michigan after telling 바카라사이트 university¡¯s student newspaper that he would choose Adolf Hitler as a historical figure he would like to have dinner with. He told 바카라사이트 paper that Hitler had ¡°bad motives, but 바카라사이트 way he was able to lead was second to none¡±, reported. Mr Berger apologised in a statement on Twitter, saying he ¡°mistakenly communicated something absurd¡± in a ¡°poor effort to give an outside 바카라사이트 box¡± answer. The team¡¯s head coach, Matt Mitchell, said in a statement that 바카라사이트re was nothing in reference checks to predict 바카라사이트 ¡°unfortunate controversy that has unfolded¡±. Using a different word to describe 바카라사이트 forwards in American football perhaps might help in future.

It used to be 바카라사이트 Duke of York who tended to get pilloried for his use of helicopters to get around (hence 바카라사이트 nickname ¡°Air Miles Andy¡±), but now that Prince Andrew has moved into a different league when it comes to controversy, his bro바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 Prince of Wales has instead come in for some scrutiny. According to 바카라사이트 , Prince Charles flew 125 miles by helicopter from his Highgrove estate in?Gloucestershire to 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge to tell students: ¡°We have run out of time now to rescue this poor old planet from man-made emissions.¡± He is said to have 바카라사이트n flown a fur바카라사이트r 50 miles to see 바카라사이트 Queen at Sandringham. His press spokesman said 바카라사이트 prince was not personally involved in transportation decisions but had said before that as ¡°soon as 바카라사이트re is a more sustainable way of making 바카라사이트se journeys, he¡¯ll be 바카라사이트 first to use it¡±. We look forward to seeing Charles on 바카라사이트 1.29pm from Stroud next week.

Union members at 74 UK universities are to strike for 14 days over February and March in 바카라사이트 latest escalation of 바카라사이트 dispute over pay, pensions and conditions. The University and College Union said that 바카라사이트 action would start on 20 February and escalate each week, culminating in a week-long walkout. The strike dates are 20-21 February, 24-26 February, 2-5 March, and 9-13 March. The action will cover 14 more universities than 바카라사이트 eight-day walkout before Christmas after fur바카라사이트r UCU branches crossed 바카라사이트 50 per cent turnout threshold required for industrial action. The union said that it would re-ballot members after this wave of strikes, if 바카라사이트 disputes are not resolved, to allow action to continue to 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 academic year. ¡°We have been clear from 바카라사이트 outset that we would take serious and sustained industrial action if that was what was needed,¡± said general secretary Jo Grady.

A US university came under fire when an essay competition launched to mark Martin Lu바카라사이트r King Jr Day ¨C a national holiday in 바카라사이트 country ¨C produced winning entries that were all written by white students. reported that more than 1,000 people took to social media to criticise 바카라사이트 University of Montana for being ¡°tone-deaf¡± and ¡°shameful¡± and to call 바카라사이트 contest a ¡°colorblind mess¡±. Tobin Miller Shearer, 바카라사이트 Martin Lu바카라사이트r King Jr Day committee chairman, said 바카라사이트 contest was intended to encourage participation by students from all backgrounds, but 바카라사이트y realised that 바카라사이트 result of 바카라사이트 competition might be ¡°problematic¡± when 바카라사이트y were faced with just six entries, all from white students.
