Governance in the Middle East

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/all/themes/ihecustom/logo.jpgBy David Matthews for Times Higher Education. More than ever before, universities are being measured against not only national competitors but also rivals from the rest of the world. There are already a number of well-established global university rankings, which are generally based on research power. Then there is the Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes project, a program run by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which in a 2012 pilot assessed the critical thinking and reasoning skills of 23,000 undergraduates across 17 countries in an attempt to discover what (if anything) students actually learn at university.

A Market Approach

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/all/themes/ihecustom/logo.jpgBy Colleen Flaherty. Few professors would turn down a raise, but even standard contract pay bumps of 3 or 4 percent can leave long-serving faculty feeling less valued than their newer colleagues. That's because junior faculty often are recruited at similar or even higher salaries fresh out of graduate school, especially those in high-demand fields such as business and medicine. The issue, known as salary compression, compounds over time, and it's not great for morale. Read more...

Capacités d’accueil : un tirage au sort à l’entrée à l’Université ?

http://blog.educpros.fr/didier-delignieres/wp-content/themes/longbeach_deligneres/images/img01.jpgBlog Educpros de Didier Delignières. Les médias se sont fait l’écho en cette rentrée de l’émoi déclenché par l’instauration d’un tirage au sort à l’entrée en première année de Licence dans certains UFR STAPS (voir notamment http://m.poitou-charentes.france3.fr/2013/07/10/polemique-les-lyceens-candidats-aux-staps-de-poitiers-dependants-d-un-tirage-au-sort-285795.html .

Tice à la fac, c’est FUN ?

http://blog.educpros.fr/gilbert-azoulay/wp-content/themes/longbeach_gilbert/images/img01.jpgBlog Educpros de Gilbert Azoulay. Où en sont les universités Françaises ? Entre l’Amue, Fun ou Renater, elles ne manquent pas de structures chargées de les accompagner en matière numérique. Mais faute d’actions coordonnées et de vision politique de long terme, les choses évoluent doucement… très doucement. La nouvelle génération  de Présidents d’universités devrait tout de même accélérer les Tice et ses usages. C’est l’ambition affichée par François Germinet, 43 ans, qui pilote Cergy-Pontoise et préside le comité numérique de la Conférence des présidents d’université (CPU). Suite...

En 2013, quinze universités seront en déficit, soit autant que l’année dernière ,a annoncé mercredi 12 septembre Geneviève Fioraso, ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur.

Il s’agit de Paris-I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris-VI Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, Paris-XIII Nord, et Evry-Val-d’Essonne. «Nous en avions près de 20 quand je suis arrivée» au ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur en mai 2012, s’est félicitée la ministre. Les universités étaient alors pénalisées par le passage à l’autonomie, qui était entrée en application entre 2009 et 2011. Lire la suite...
