This article describes the rise of Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) as an institutional designation within postsecondary education in the U.S. context, and outlines some of the language-based challenges U.S. Latinx students face on campus and in the home speech community. Engagement with the mass media through editorial writing and interviews in television, radio, and print formats is conceived of as a productive means of educating the public about HSIs and the language issues that contextualize the lives of the student bodies that attend them, combating misinformation about U.S. Latinx speech communities, and, more generally, for doing what Wolfram (2016) calls " public sociolinguistics education. " A model of mass media engagement is suggested, in which community-based sociolinguistic research is communicated by the researcher to press specialists at the university, who help place it with journalists, who then disseminate sociolinguistic knowledge to the general public. The effects of mass media engagement—including community involvement and the creation of sociolinguistic artifacts—are discussed, and practical advice for promoting sociolinguistic perspectives through mass media engagement is given.

What is the worst nightmare anyone in academia could have, finding out that someone else has stolen your topic or plagiarized you? Even worse, knowing it was done because you are a woman. Idea theft is a huge problem in academia, and women are often the victims of these thefts by the much more powerful men in the profession. However, while an idea is undeveloped, it is much more brazen in academia to steal ideas and topics that are published and well-publicized. Publishing is supposed to ensure an academic's work is protected; well, that is what I thought. A woman without a doctorate can just be trampled on, published or not.

This paper similar to the study of recruitment and selection process, element of organisation social capital building, the paper focused attention on one function of human resource as it relates to organisational social capital building, the paper is widening the gap in knowledge on how to influence other human resources function such as training and development. This paper opens discussion on how training and development relates to organisational social capital building using Nigeria medium enterprises human resource perception. Business today operates in an environment, where every organisation focus on attaining increased productivity and performance from the staff they recruit. Human resource practitioners are expected to, not just, recruit staffs; they are saddled with the responsibility of training and developing employees they recruit in order to the achieve objectives of their firm. Hence, the use of training and development programmes and policies to build social capital for firms requires attention, that too, in a contextual manner. This paper studied the view of medium enterprises human resource practitioners as regards using training and development programmes to build organisation social capital.
Quantitative approach was used as the sole research method, 500 questionnaires were sent out to human resource practitioners in Nigeria medium enterprises, 451 were retrieved back. The paper uses a Likert-scale questionnaire as instrument and descriptive, bivariate and multiple regression analysis to investigate if human resource practitioners in Nigeria medium enterprises understand the need to use their training and development programmes to build organisation social capital for their firms and what influences this perception generates. The study reveal that Nigeria medium enterprises human resource practitioners focus on the social nature of work than on efficient process of work whilst design training and development programmes and in assessment of training needs of the organisation implying they are in support of the use of training and development function to build organisation social capital. Education background and qualification of human resource practitioners is found to the only factor responsible this positive perception.

Sul profilo biografico di Cecco d'Ascoli, al secolo Francesco Stabili, gravano secoli di leggenda che si è frammista alla storia. Le scarse notizie sulla sua formazione, la rapida e fortunata carriera universitaria, i processi inquisitoriali e la tragica fine sul rogo a Firenze  hanno alimentato una pluralità di notizie a suo carico che devono fare i conti con le fonti storiche. Il presente lavoro tenta innanzi tutto di chiarire quali siano queste fonti e, quindi, di tracciare un profilo biografico attendibile.
Nel secondo capitolo, invece, viene analizzata quella che per diverse ragioni può essere ritenuta come l'opera più rappresentativa dell'autore: il Commento alla Sfera del Sacrobosco. La lettura del manuale di astronomia più diffuso del medioevo, diviene nel corso stabiliano occasione per intrecciare astrologia, negromanzia e magia.
L'ultima parte dell'elaborato, infine, è più ricca di domande che di risposte. Dopo aver analizzato in chiave diacronica e sincronica il contesto dello studium bolognese, vengono espresse alcune suggestioni in merito alle problematiche poetico-letterarie e alcuni indirizzi di ricerca futuri sulle questioni stabiliane.

This article is a very short guide to navigating institutional racism within universities. Focal points of this piece are how institutional racism works, how it can be diagnosed, and how one can invent ways to survive it. The first section of this article is an overall analysis of how institutional racism is set up, particularly in the humanities and arts departments of North American universities. The second section is a step-by-step guide to surviving institutional racism in the university, and particularly in graduate programs. This article is distilled through and explained by first-hand experiences and observations and is written both to archive the structure and affect of the current atmosphere of institutional racism and to document and propose some strategies of awareness and resistance.

INTRODUCING QUALITATIVE METHODS provides a series of volumes which introduce qualitative research to the student and beginning researcher. The approach is interdisciplinary and international. A distinctive feature of these volumes is the helpful student exercises.

Recently, courts have decided that private and public colleges and universities can revoke degrees due to  academic dishonesty. A university's authority to revoke degrees is supported by a logical extension of its conferral power, "black letter" contract law, and the precedential authority of Crook v. Baker, Waliga v. Board of Trustees of Kent State University, and Abalkhail v. Claremont University Center.

Although colleges enjoy great discretion in deciding whether to confer degrees, once the college grants a degree, its discretion to revoke that degree is governed by due process guidelines. In Crook, the university involved was public, triggering the applicability of due process procedural safeguards.

The question remains--are private colleges and universities required to provide procedural safeguards to students faced with degree revocation? The receipt of state and federal financial assistance does not constitute state action. Although private universities are not required to afford the complete package of constitutional due process protections, courts expect them to provide minimal procedural protection to ensure fundamental fairness. Clearly, both public and private universities possess the authority to revoke degrees already conferred.

'Philosophy and the aims of higher education' Studies in Higher Education Vol. 22, No 1

The paper asks how far philosophy can throw light on what the aims of higher education should be. It begins with a critical discussion of Ronald Bamett's argument set out in his 'The Idea of Higher Education' and elsewhere, that there are  'emancipatory' aims implicit in the concept of higher education itself. Bamett's philosophical and historical arguments for this conclusion are examined and rejected. The question is also raised, whether the conclusion could be supported on other grounds. In the last part of the paper, it is suggested that higher education seems to offer much less scope than compulsory school education for philosophical discussions of its aims'.

People abused by angry discipline as children, may tend to abuse or overly punish other people or themselves for perceived wrongs in their adult life. In some individuals, aggressive personality traits may be genetically inherited. The aggressive personality may feel weakened by having guidelines or boundaries for anger. Anger is a normal human emotion, and these guidelines can help express anger in a healthy way.

Plagiarism has been on the rise amongst university students in recent decades. This study puts university teachers in the spotlight and investigates their role in raising students’ awareness about plagiarism. To that end, plagiarism policies in 207 Iranian university TEFL teachers’ syllabuses were analyzed. The researchers analyzed the syllabuses to find out if they contain a plagiarism policy, and if so, how the term is defined; whether they approach the issue of plagiarism directly; if they offer students any guidelines on how to avoid plagiarism; and if the consequences of committing plagiarism are specified. The results indicated that the majority of the syllabuses (83.6%) lacked a plagiarism policy and those that did include a policy were often vague in their definition of the phenomenon. However, when there was a plagiarism policy in the syllabuses, the teachers tried to address the issue directly half of the time and offered students brief guidelines on how to avoid plagiaris...

The present study aims to rank the university libraries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-Pakistan. Library services, resources, status of automation and application of emerging technologies were the parameters used for the assessment of ranking of the nineteen Public Sector Universities and Degree Awarding Institutes of North-West province of Pakistan. Survey based approach was adopted to collect the required information. It was reported that majority of university libraries under study are partially automated. Based on the above-mentioned parameters, the central library of The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar was ranked top followed by central/main library of University of Malakand, Chakdara, Dir, Malakand and central/main library of University of Peshawar, Peshawar. Provision of appropriate budget for the implementation of smart technologies, induction of technological adept human ware and awareness of higher-ups of the universities about the benefits of modern library technologies is recommended for the effective and smart library culture in the territory. The manifestation of these steps will help in the enhancement of quality education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-Pakistan.

Die Geschichtswissenschaft sieht sich einem doppelten Vorwurf ausgesetzt: Einerseits mische sie sich zu wenig in aktuelle gesellschaftliche Debatten ein, und andererseits sei sie zu politisch –und zwar vor allem zu links. Wie ist es zu dieser Konfrontation gekommen, und was ist dran an den Vorwürfen? Sind Historikerinnen und Historiker zur engagierten Parteinahme verpflichtet oder gibt es einen neutralen Standpunkt ausserhalb? Darüber diskutieren Caspar Hirschi, Professor für Allgemeine Geschichte an der Universität St. Gallen, Gesine Krüger, Professorin für Neuere Geschichte an der Universität Zürich, und Jakob Tanner, emeritierter Professor für Allgemeine und Schweizer Geschichte an der Universität Zürich

Despite its ubiquity as the term, ‘student movements’ are not easy to build or sustain. This is because campus activism typically features a diversity of political views and tactical preferences, and is organisationally restricted by the constant turnover of graduating cohorts. This chapter uses the 2010/11 UK student protests to explore some of the challenges students face in building a wider student movement. United initially by a common grievance of rising tuition fees, students responded quickly with a multi-repertoire mass campaign. Yet its tactical breadth generated diverging collective experiences and identities, and once the fees were passed by Government these identities proved difficult to unite as an overarching movement.

With the spread of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, a large part of the Internet is through social networks that occupy much of the network traffic and time spent on it. However, universities are still in a process of initial adaptation and wasted many of their learning opportunities. In this paper we compare some of the tools that allow us to establish social networks for college. We start with professional spaces as Linkedin or Google Plus to continue with academic social networks like ResearchGate or Academia.Edu. Finally social networks present reading as a new challenge for reading education, a natural space for Social Reading with spaces for all profiles as professional like Lectylab or early readers in Leoteca.

Le vicende delle università storiche di medie dimensioni sono legate al riuso di edifici esistenti e ai processi di trasformazione del tessuto urbano. Le prime università furono fondate in Europa in epoca medioevale. In origine le lezioni si tenevano in palazzi nobiliari e in conventi ma ben presto con il loro rafforzarsi, le istituzioni si spostarono in sedi proprie. Agli inizi del secolo XX, con lo sviluppo della medicina e delle scienze naturali - e delle strumentazioni scientifiche - le sedi storiche risultarono ben presto inadeguate ed ebbe inizio una fase di espansione in nuovi insediamenti periferici. Un’ulteriore fase di espansione si verificò negli anni 1970 in seguito ai moti studenteschi e al passaggio dalla università di élite all'università di massa. In questa fase si ebbero un’espansione in nuove aree e, parallelamente, il riuso di edifici dismessi (e.g. conventi, caserme, ecc.). Il quadro che si ottiene è di un patrimonio costruito fortemente eterogeneo (per epoca di costruzione, tipologie edilizie e tecniche costruttive utilizzate) e diffuso nel tessuto urbano, con il quale instaura uno stretto rapporto. Negli ultimi anni la crisi economica e la progressiva riduzione della spesa pubblica, da un lato, e il crescente apprezzamento anche economico del patrimonio architettonico, dall'altro, hanno riorientato il settore delle costruzioni verso gli interventi sul costruito e hanno fatto emergere la necessità di una gestione più efficiente ed efficace dei grandi patrimoni edilizi. A questi aspetti si aggiungono le pressioni derivanti dal cambiamento del quadro esigenziale espresso dall’utenza e dall’evoluzione delle prestazioni richieste dalla normativa e l’impossibilità di lasciare le sedi istituzionali. Si rende quindi necessario definire una metodologia per il monitoraggio e la valutazione dell’adeguatezza del patrimonio costruito delle università storiche e per la definizione di strategie di intervento per l’aggiornamento degli edifici che garantiscano allo stesso tempo di garantirne la conservazione.

Institutional policy is an important although little researched and somewhat disparaged governance mechanism that establishes principles, parameters and ‘road maps’ for higher education institutional operations. The Institutional Policy Project was initiated in 2013 to unpack higher education institutional policy from an international, comparative perspective. The research involved surveys and interviews with higher education institution staff in the United States, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. The research identified consistent policy practitioner responsibilities including policy drafting, benchmarking, and consultation co-ordination. A consistent picture emerges of a pervasive dislocation between policy texts and policy practitioners, policy governance, and policy implementation evaluation and review.

This paper explores a defining contradiction at the heart of the university as a social and cultural institution: society requires the university to serve it, but this service requires the university's detachment and freedom from external social determinations. I argue that we can see this paradox embedded at the very heart of the university expressed in a myriad of ways throughout the institution's long history, including the relatively recent debates about interdisciplinarity. I review some instances in the history of the university where this contradiction has expressed itself most clearly and then examine some of the ways in which the rubric "interdisciplinarity" has been deployed in the contemporary corporate university. How is the term used? Who uses it and for what reasons? How might we come to understand "interdisciplinarity" as a performative term re-presenting or promising one set of meanings, but instantiating a very different set of actions? What are the political dimensions of its use? I highlight and problematize the distinction between the emergence of "interdisciplinarity" as an intellectual phenomenon and "interdisciplinarity" as it is currently defined and administered within academic institutions. Finally, I explore an alternative way to think about what we do at the university in the name of interdisciplinarity.

The term non-permanent employee first appeared in the rule of law, namely in Act Number 13 Year 2003 concerning Manpower.This Act has an impact on the emergence of clarity about staffing status so that the salaries obtained by employees do not match their workload.Therefore, this study aims to determine employees who are eligible to earn the same income at one of the private universities in Palembang based on university's strategic plan, namely class, employment status, membership, and education permit using the Naïve Bayes method. The results showed that the highest accuracy of predictive conclusions for non-permanent and permanent employees is 83.33%, while the lowest accuracy value is 50%.

Kallio, T. J., Kallio K.-M., Huusko, M., Pyykkö, R. & Kivistö, J. 2021. Balancing between Accountabil-ity and Autonomy: The Impact and Relevance of Public Steering Mechanisms within Higher Education. Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting & Financial Management.

Purpose-This article studies the tensions between universities' accountability and autonomy in response to the demands of public steering mechanisms coordinating higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach-Demonstrating the tension between accountability and autonomy, the impact and relevance of public steering mechanisms coordinating higher education are studied via a survey with selected representative Finnish universities. The response rate was an exceptionally high 94%. In addition to the statistical analysis of the survey, open-ended questions were also analyzed to give a more in-depth understanding of the findings. The study uses paradox theory and institutional complexity as its theoretical lenses. Findings-The empirical analysis of this study shows a considerable gap between the experienced impact and the experienced relevance of the steering mechanisms in higher education. The authors' further analysis of the open-ended data shows that indicator-based funding allocation has undermined the perceived university autonomy. The authors highlight the paradoxical tensions of university autonomy and higher education institutions' steering mechanisms' requirement for accountability. Finding an acceptable balance between accountability and institutional autonomy plays an important role in designing higher education policies. Originality/value-The authors found that even if a steering mechanism is experienced as impactful, it is not necessarily considered relevant. One of the key aspects in understanding the reasons behind this mismatch is related to university autonomy. Most impactful steering mechanisms become considered less relevant because

Open access publication for public funded research has been a demand by scholarly community. Studies shows about the growing publishing trend in open access from Indian scholars. The current study evaluates about the open access publication trend of top 5 central universities of India in the period from 2011 to 2015. The top 5 central universities were identified from the National Institutional Ranking Framework, published by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India for the year 2016. Study was limited to items published as article or review only in journals which are indexed in the Scopus database. The findings of the study show low share (only 14.37% of total items) of open access published contents from the top 5 universities during the period. Also an analysis of impact of the published contents via citation count reveals that even though the share of open access contents in the published literature were less but the rate of citation of the OA content were higher than that of the paid access contents. Average citation rate to the open access articles from the universities were 6.85 per article, while the same for the paid access items were 5.41 citations per article. 30.69% of published OA contents had foreign collaboration and out of those 30.69%, 62.38% had collaboration with USA, which proves the strong influence of USA collaboration in the OA contents of top Indian universities.

This article provides an analysis of the concept of "competences, based on an Anglophone bibliography. It supports the argument that "competences" do not constiture merely an operational concept, but rather and foremost a normative one. Given that  competences are treated as a basic component of the contemporary policy of the European Union, we have analysed the relative bibliography indicating that the competences, being the cornerstone of employability, are also treated as the primary constituent of the new ideal type of  individual adapted to the needs of the new global economy. This design seems to replace the traditional process of socialization. In reality, it is the implementation of a new societal project. A project where the role of the University in promoting competences seems central.

Abstract:
Degrowth is the literal translation of 'decroissance', a French word meaning reduction. Launched by activists in 2001 as a challenge to growth, it became a missile word that sparks a contentious debate on the diagnosis and prognosis of our society. 'Degrowth' became an interpretative frame for a new (and old) social movement where numerous streams of critical ideas and political actions converge. It is an attempt to re-politicise debates about desired socio-environmental futures and an example of an activist-led science now consolidating into a concept in academic literature. This article discusses the definition, origins, evolution, practices and construction of degrowth. The main objective is to explain degrowth's multiple sources and strategies in order to improve its basic definition and avoid reductionist criticisms and misconceptions. To this end, the article presents degrowth's main intellectual sources as well as its diverse strategies (oppositional activism, building of alternatives and political proposals) and actors (practitioners, activists and scientists). Finally, the article argues that the movement's diversity does not detract from the existence of a common path.

Purpose-This study aims to unveil the determinants of employer branding (EB) that attracts and retains the employees working in the Indian higher education sector using the factor-analytic approach. Design/methodology/approach-The study is cross-sectional, and the data were collected from 141 employees working in the higher education sector. Exploratory factor analysis and independent t-test were deployed to analyze the data. Findings-The results of independent samples t-test explicate that perception of male and female university employees pertaining to EB factors of employee attraction (EA) and employee retention (ER) is congruent. Further, the perception of employees in public and private universities on EB factor is similar for ER and non-similar for EA. Originality/value-The present research is an effort to unveil the employee attraction and retention factors that play a vital role in showcasing an employer as a great place to work in the Indian higher education sector.

Ujmowanie szkolnictwa wyższego w paradygmacie konsumpcjonistycznym nie jest zjawiskiem nowym. Świadczą o tym coraz liczniejsze publikacje, w których autorzy wskazują na wiele podobieństw, jakie rysują się na linii uniwersytet - przedsiębiorstwo usługowo-handlowe lub też przeciwstawiają się opinii, iż jest on elementem rynku w sensie ekonomicznym . Nie opowiadając się we wstępie do powyższego artykułu po żadnej ze stron, pragnę jedynie zaznaczyć, że rekonstrukcja współczesnej debaty toczącej się wokół kondycji szkolnictwa wyższego uprawomocnia tezę, iż metafora uniwersytetu supermarketu/ przedsiębiorstwa usługowo-produkcyjnego nie tylko nie jest bezzasadna, przeciwnie-służy lepszemu zrozumieniu przemian, jakie dokonują się w obszarze edukacji akademickiej. Jest ona jedną z wielu perspektyw interpretacyjnych w optyce których rozpatrywana jest edukacja wyższa – elementem niezwykle barwnej mozaiki, jaką jest uniwersytet w XXI wieku.

There is a growing interest in social responsibility of the corporations among academicians and practitioners. Companies now are not only expected to be responsible to their shareholders but to society in general. Universities, as the centers of knowledge generation and sharing, play a very important role in solving world’s problems by ensuring a sustainable tomorrow. However, it is questionable whether world leading universities are concerned about CSR and if they do, to what extent they are committed to their social responsibilities. This research elaborates on this issue by exploring the website content and annual reports of the world top 10 universities. The findings of this research show that world leading universities are committed to their social responsibility and they provide sufficient information on most of the core areas of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Organizational identity can be designed to reduce the risks of uncertainty about future states of public organizations and the inherent potential issues related to evaluation and assessment. As such, organizational identity may shape a congruent and credible self-representation of the university, where a consistent narrative articulates compliance to diverse institutional frameworks, commitment to organizational distinctiveness, and a sensible rationale for strategic change. By examining the strategic plans of four European universities over a 10-year period of major organizational change, the paper discusses the subtleties of the specific combinations of the three different functions and the implications for institutional leadership.
