Demise of journalistic independency & access to Uni / HE Media
Datum Van: 19 januari 2011 20:00 Tot: 19 januari 2011 21:30 Locatie: Arminius, Museumpark 3, Rotterdam Toelichting De afgelopen maanden beheersten de onthullingen van Wikileaks de krantenkoppen, de praatprogramma's en de internet weblogs. Hoewel de klokkenluidersite al sinds 2006 bestaat, zetten de recente publicaties van geheime documenten en de arrestatie van voorman Julian Assange de site pas werkelijk op de kaart.

Je zult maar hoofdredacteur zijn van een universiteitsblad: de Colleges van Bestuur dulden geen kritische artikelen, negatieve berichtgeving maar wensen louter complimenteuze commentaren in de universiteitsperiodieken te lezen. Voldoe je als blad niet aan die wensen? Jammer, maar dan wordt er niet gepubliceerd. Om maar eens twee recente voorbeelden te noemen: Onze eigen Vox kwam vorig jaar in opspraak toen het blad zijn online nieuwsberichten enkel nog intern mocht publiceren; excuseert u mij het woord, geen Voxlog maar Voxinlog . Het feest is uiteindelijk niet doorgegaan.
Censuur heerst op universiteiten
Vrij zijn om je mening te geven. Kunnen zeggen en schrijven wat je wilt. Weten wat er speelt in je omgeving en in de wereld. In Nederland denken we soms dat persvrijheid en vrijheid van meningsuiting overal in de wereld net zo vanzelfsprekend is als hier. In feite leeft slechts 16% van de wereldbevolking in een land met een vrije pers.

Ravitch: 'A moment of national insanity' corporate school reformers

The Answer Sheet - What ‘Superman’ got wrong, point by point
This was written by Rick Ayers , a former high school teacher, founder of Communication Arts and Sciences small school at Berkeley High School, and currently adjunct professor in teacher education at the University of San Francisco. He is the co-author, with his brother William Ayers, of the forthcoming "Teaching the Taboo" from Teachers College Press. This post is long, but it is worth your time. By Rick Ayers While the education film Waiting For Superman has moving profiles of students struggling to succeed under difficult circumstances, it puts forward a sometimes misleading and other times dishonest account of the roots of the problem and possible solutions.

Academic fury over order to study the big society | Education | The Observer
David Willetts MP, minister for universities and science, regarded as one of the intellectual driving forces behind the 'big society'. Photograph: Graeme Robertson Academics will study the "big society" as a priority, following a deal with the government to secure funding from cuts. The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) will spend a "significant" amount of its funding on the prime minister's vision for the country, after a government "clarification" of the Haldane principle – a convention that for 90 years has protected the right of academics to decide where research funds should be spent. Under the revised principle, research bodies must work to the government's national objectives, although the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said that ministers will not meddle in individual projects.
AAN DE NEDERLANDSE universiteiten is het al een halve eeuw lang heisa, hommeles en trammelant. Steeds opnieuw steekt de onrust de kop op en vooral de laatste tijd zwelt het rumoer weer aan, gezien bijvoorbeeld de kritische boeken en artikelen die recent zijn verschenen, zoals If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?, onder redactie van Chris Lorenz, Topkitsch en slow science van René Boomkens en Bachelor-mastersysteem is uitgelopen op een grote flop van Menno Lievers. Wat is er toch aan de hand?

André Klukhuhn, directeur Studium Generale, Utrecht, januari 2002Robber barons is a derogatory term applied to wealthy and powerful 19th century American businessmen. By the late 1800's, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used what were considered to be exploitative practices to amass their wealth. These practices included exerting control over national resources, accruing high levels of government influence, paying extremely low wages, squashing competition by acquiring competitors in order to create monopolies and eventually raise prices, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors in a manner which would eventually destroy the company for which the stock was issued and impoverish investors.

Library closures: Labour's fury as users are labelled white and middle class | Books | The Observer
The public library is a uniquely American creation. Now we have to fight to keep it public. Is “public” now a dirty word? Fort Worth has stripped the word from its local library. “The word ‘public’ has been removed from the name of the Fort Worth Library.
All Hail the PUBLIC Library
