1. Op-eds aren’t data.
2. Only a short time ago, within many Americans’ lifetimes, #highereducation was badly segregated and reserved mainly for elites.
#Collegecampuses have never been as intellectually diverse and democratic, open to numerous #viewpoints, as they are now.

#Collegecampuses have never been as intellectually diverse and democratic, open to numerous #viewpoints, as they are now.
3. The idea that students are “censorious”--let alone "mad"--is a false narrative that pundits, propagandists, and mainstream media have aggressively promoted.
4. College-aged young people consistently express stronger support for #freespeech and tolerance for #viewpointdiversity than other age groups in credible survey research--not only in individual studies, but also across time.
Aspiring authoritarians commonly attack #highereducation to:
* turn teachers/researchers protected by a merit-based system of employment into workers dependent on the state 2/6
* turn teachers/researchers protected by a merit-based system of employment into workers dependent on the state 2/6
* transform centers of teaching/research based on analysis of evidence and independent expertise into state-loyal institutions that indoctrinate students in mythologies, falsehoods, invented histories which reinforce authoritarian visions of power and cultural hierarchy 3/6

A warm welcome to everyone from our CEO @nataliamanola and Outreach and Engagement Officer @GMalaguarnera to our informative webinar. We are here to discuss what the shift to #OpenScience means for Research Performing Organisations and how #OpenAIRE facilitates this shift .

(1/23) This thread is mainly addressed to my #German followers, but it could also be interesting for those who always wanted to know how Germany could become the most culturally leftist country on the European continent. Accordingly, this thread is a #political #commentary by me.
(2/23) It is about the historical personality of the first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adeneauer. I also would like to finally dispel a myth that still plagues German conservatives, by which I do not mean recationaries, but all those who do not want to destroy their own country.
Every year, the UK government decides, without evidence, that #FreedomOfSpeech
in #Universities is under threat.
It's smoke & mirrors, a parlour trick to distract from real issues like the #CostOfLivingCrisis /1

@VerBubbly @dhaval241086 @KaIIburgism Following are what wypipo put into motion to harm Bharat:
1. Destruction of indic knowledge systems and moving centres of higher ed into UK/US #Universities.
2. Creating the #OverpopulationMyth
3. #CulturalAppropriation and #patenting Indic ideas and traditions; selling it back.

1. I am going to start an endless thread calling for the uni fee increases to be undone.
It will start very respectful. I’m very hopeful @JasonClareMP et al will do the right thing, on this and many other issues.
But I will not let the issue slide away like last time.

Here's a balanced thread on #academia vs #industry from the perspective of someone who has held senior positions in both. I'm going to write this thread because a lot of what I read here reduces to "my tribe is better than yours" or "grass is always greener".

The academic trade is fundamentally freedom for money.
As a Sr #academic you barely have a boss and really get to determine which of millions of options you can pursue. New intl grants? More policy engagement? Acad leadership? Media? Translational research? All up to you.

Making the most of this implies a couple of things:
1) you must have a clear path to a senior position to take advantage
2) your institution must not be over corporatizing.
Let's address these two

#Graduates who never went to #college are graduating soon.
Into the third year of #online education?
The #hiring market currently is heated due to lack of good quality supply. Would the new freshers even compare to pre 2020 graduates? #Universities are not about the course curriculum but the halls and walls that teach you life while finding your interests.
God help us all.

Know us as Taronga Zoo? We’re more than that. As Taronga Conservation Society Australia, we sit within the NSW Government’s Dept of Planning, Industry & Environment (@DPIENSW), led by @Matt_KeanMP, and contribute to #SavingOurSpecies programs & more. @nswenviromedia #scienceweek
Taronga is constituted under the Zoological Parks Board Act 1973 as a statutory authority owned by the people of #NSW. Breed-for-release programs, wild-wild animal translocations, #conservation education and scientific research are key to our work and legislated under the Act.
Co-delivered with @NSWEducation (>40y partnership), multiple #universities and community, our diverse learning pathways at the Taronga Institute of #Science & Learning nurtured many budding #conservation scientists. taronga.org.au/education/taro…
Removal of HEC chairman: Let us think beyond personalities. The #PoliticalEconomy of #HigherEducation in #Pakistan is such that whoever had challenged the status quo, system would have turned against him/her. I think following led the removal of chairman #HEC
1) #HEC R&D grants system was revamped to fund those projects only which had an impact (determined by peer review). #HEC Closed many projects which failed peer review.
2) set up #disciplinary panels for peer review headed by well-reputed scholars such as Dr Zulfiqar Bhutta, Dr Noman ul Haq, Dr Tariq Hassan, Dr Sarosh Lodhi etc., to make fund/no-fund decisions in Committee.

2. #IndependentSAGE agrees with SAGE that, in Autumn in HE, “significant outbreaks are likely" that "could amplify local & national transmission"; that "this requires national oversight”, & that “asymptomatic transmission may make these harder to detect”.
3. Our report published yesterday maps, in detail, the overlap between SAGE and #IndependentSAGE's principles and recommendations, and is summarized below:
🔗 bit.ly/3mdhXKL

Read our response to SAGE's principles principles for managing #COVID19 at #Universities
We agree the "It is highly likely that there will be significant outbreaks associated with HE" and agree on strategies to mitigate risk.
We agree the "It is highly likely that there will be significant outbreaks associated with HE" and agree on strategies to mitigate risk.
However, our recommendation about the purpose, extent and duration of our online teaching and learning strategy will maximise the effectiveness of other strategies such as residential segments and testing/tracing.
In sum: maximising remote learning at the start of term will enable subsequent pivots to in-person depending on infection rates, rather than away from it if there are cases.
Morning @ayrestim ask @AlboMP why he’s not wearing a mask? School yard bully Albo at HSU when my young daughter wasn’t wearing a mask at reception. Since then she’s been given the shaft from a $68,000 job down to $54 for her 1st welfare payment - how great is hypocrisy!
@ayrestim Sinead bent over backwards volunteering for Labor & she’s shafted from a job after @AlboMP visit to HSU because of her disability & not being the ideal receptionist. Everyone deserves a well paid job! 🤬#auspol #nswpol #lnpfail
Nobody from ‘old rorting Kathy Jackson’ Union bothered to even ring Sinead to see how her mental health was after suddenly making her redundant without warning that she wasn’t doing her job which was bollocks! How great is Compassion in the yr of #COVID19au ! 🤬@AlboMP @ayrestim
