Coalition rallies for fight

Article Abstract:

A group of 16 learned societies has made a joint appeal to the United Kingdom Government in an attempt to get it to reverse its plans for greater research selectivity for universities. The move, in the form of a letter to higher education minister Alan Johnson, cam as an unprecedented range of organisations lined up to attack the government's efforts to steer some universities away from research. Students, trade unions and vice-chancellors are all opposed to the government's plans, and they have been joined in their protests by opposition political parties and the Commons select committee on education and skills.

Ever feel like Sisyphus wth a spot of lumbago?

Article Abstract:

The relationship between college faculty and management has changed over the years. Where once it was possible and relatively easy to get to see an university vice-chancellor and discuss any problems, nowadays this is almost impossible, yet the management still argue that they have a duty of care to their staff. If universities are to get faculty to believe that managers have a duty of care, then they need to put in more effort to actually prove themselves.
