Not-so-free speech?
Article Abstract:
Many universities in the UK are finding it hard to achieve an acceptable balance between the rights of religious groups and the rights of students to express their views openly. Extremists groups are now very aware of the benefits of a strong presence within universities, and universities are finding it hard to establish the best way to deal with intolerance. The Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals is currently looking at advice for universities where there are societies which encourage racial, religious or political hatred.

Article Abstract:
Daniel Weil, Royal College of Art's professor of industrial design, considers modernisation in the UK a botch-up. London Underground has carried out modernisation at stations, but this is considered only remedial action by the professor. Design should be a strategic operation with a view to the long term. Weil favours organic design, which has a lasting structure which can develop to suit change, such as the design of the London Underground map, and the BP filling station design.
