How a law faculty got court out

Article Abstract:

Lecturer in international law Asif Qureshi has won a five-year battle for justice against his employer of 11 years, the law faculty at Manchester University, England. A tribunal decided in Feb. 1997 that the university had unlawfully discriminated against Qureshi, a Pakistani with degrees from the University of London and the LSE, during promotion rounds in 1992, 1993 and 1994, and that he had been victimized on a number of occasions. Qureshi's victory is particularly significant since Manchester University's law faculty is a leading centre for anti-discrimination law.

Postgrad provision is patchy, Euro survey finds

Article Abstract:

A survey of PhD students and supervisors in England, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, reports that some supervisors fail to offer enough encouragement to students. The survey, funded by the Belgian ministry of education, also finds that means of financing PhD courses varies markedly across the four countries, with students in England very much poorer than their European counterparts. The research looks at the reasons some students fail to finish their courses on time, styles of supervision and the frequency of meetings with supervisors.

The Auschwitz horror show; the future of the notorious death camp

Article Abstract:

Auschwitz is now on the tourist trail, and boasts a hotel, cafe, souvenir shop and cinema. The Polish government have set up a commission to decide how the former Nazi death camp should be treated. The original structure has long been replaced, and some observers would like the site closed. It has been a museum since 1947.
