Mathias Falkenstein contends that business schools are at a ‘tipping point’ and change is needed to create more ethical, responsible and sustainable management education. Lukas Bischof writes about a new book that provides a profound overview of 25 years of transformations in 15 post-Soviet higher education systems. And Aline Courtois reveals the mixed views of Europeans on the potential impact of Brexit on higher education and research across Europe.

Now what do I do?

Now what do I do?
David Carter-Tod raises that age-old question: now that I have a blog, what do I do with it? Some good links to others' (including teachers') reflections on the same question. The discussion drifts (yes, that is the right word) into the question of personal privacy and public writing. And the question of a personal and professional points of view. More...

Free University Education

Free University Education
The link isn't up yet (as I look Friday morning) but it will be shortly to this disussion of the Canadian industry minister's assertion that higher education should be free. While critics dismiss the proposal as unaffordable, Dave Annand writes, in this opinion piece for CBC, that the provision of tax credits for distance learning would effectively achieve this objective without costing any more than we currently spend.
