Big Brother and the Roy Plomley test

Article Abstract:

Internal promotion of staff within universities are traditionally decided upon internally but external examination of the process has been carried out in the past and is likely to become more common. An outsider would want to see the departments with the most successful research output having the most senior staff but that would not necessarily mean that the staff promoted to these senior posts were the best staff in the university, only in the most successful deparment. A review is needed of past promotions to examine whether a promotee actually fulfilled his promise. In this way internal and external criteria might be brought more together.

An academic star in waiting takes the first screen test

Article Abstract:

The British Universities Film & Video Council, the British Film Institute and the Joint Information Systems Committee of the higher education funding bodies are undertaking a joint project aimed at extending viewer access to 100 years of moving pictures accumulated in archives and libraries. Audiovisual works tend to be ignored as a research resource since they do not enjoy the same privileged position in scholarship as printed text. The pilot project will experiment with methods of delivering and accessing moving pictures across a distributed network for teaching and research purposes.

Big brother sits at the high table

Article Abstract:

Universities in Sarajevo are short of money, textbooks and staff and the state is more interested in recruiting soldiers than new students. However, universities in the richer and more peaceful Slovenia, are depoliticised. In Macedonia the senate of the University of St. Kiril and Metodij are opposed to the new law on unversity education and in Croatia, a new unversity education law may mean that political appointess will be placed on unversity governing bodies.
