How I fell out with Fat Puff and Bonbon

Article Abstract:

Alan Tormaid Campbell started work at Edinburgh University, Scotland after carrying out research at Oxford University, England. He was never granted promotion during a 20 year period, and left the university in 1998. He is claiming constructive dismissal from his job as anthropology lecturer, which he left for health reasons. Campbell is praised by his students, and he has a good reputation as a writer. His supporters argue that the promotion system does not operate well, and there are few proper ways in which it can be challenged. Heads of department hold a great deal of power, and academics who do not get on with those heads have few means of challenging their decisions.

Bard bearded by heritage pedlars; the raging debate about teaching the 'Greats.'

Article Abstract:

There is controversy over whether schoolchildren and students should be obliged to study Shakespeare. Many universities do not make Shakespeare compulsory as part of their English literature courses. The National Curriculum for school pupils says 14 year-olds must study Shakespeare, even which plays should be included. The debate centres on such topics as the treatment of women in his plays and their relationship to modern issues. Studying an actual performance forms part of some university courses.
