UC ranked number 1 in world for reducing inequalities
The University of Canberra topped the world rankings for its work to reduce inequalities in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021 released last night.
Now in its third year, the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings is the only system in the world that ranks universities according to how they measure up to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The result is an important indicator of the University’s impact on local and global communities, as well as its progressive outlook and strong focus on partnerships.
“This is an amazing achievement for UC,” said Professor Paddy Nixon, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University. “Education is the key to addressing inequality and as a civic university it is our role to ensure we have a warm, living community that supports all our students and staff and that the research we do impacts the real world.”
Taiwan News Quick Take
CWB issues warning
The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) yesterday issued this year’s first thunderstorm warning for Pingtung and Taitung counties, which was received by some people as good news amid a prolonged dry spell. While sporadic rain was forcast for northern Taiwan, the bureau cautioned residents in Pingtung and Taitung about likely thunderstorms and heavy rain in the afternoon. Meanwhile, farmers in Taichung said they were happy that heavy rain fell in the city’s mountainous areas, although it only lasted about 25 minutes. Former CWB Weather Forecast Center director Daniel Wu (吳德榮) said that more moisture from southeastern China is to reach Taiwan from Sunday to Wednesday next week, which might be the prelude to the plum rain season that usually starts in May or June. However, the moisture might not entirely alleviate the water shortage situation, Wu said.
