Professor Regan's sacrifice

Article Abstract:

The suicide of Professor David Regan, head of politics at Nottingham University, did not result from a mid-life crisis or marital problems, but was a sacrifical act, according to colleagues and friends. He wanted to make a protest about the way in which universities in the UK are being run, and in particular about the management of Nottingham University. His death may also be linked to his stance against Soviet communism, as he may have been influenced by a number of suicides in the former Soviet bloc intended to draw attention to important issues.

My nest is empty, and I love it

Article Abstract:

Recent research has indicated that more and more British women in their 20s and 30s are choosing not to have children. They are often portrayed as selfish career women, but this criticism generally comes from women who were not able to exercise choice in this matter or who feel that their lives have been marred by having children. Women who are childless by choice generally greatly enjoy the freedom which not having children brings.

The mystery of the missing Muslim girls

Article Abstract:

Many Muslim girls are withdrawn by the parents from formal education in the UK at the age of 12 or 13, as their parents fear that they may be being educated in a way which is not appropriate to their beliefs. Some are sent to Pakistan or Bangladesh, while others are simply kept at home. This trend continues despite the fact that alternative education is now offered by a few private Muslim girls' schools.
