University research and the vaccine race – who benefits?

University research and the vaccine race – who benefits?
A little over 40 years ago, in the waning days of his presidency, Jimmy Carter signed the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act launching a transformation in the pursuit and purpose of science in the United States. Before 1980, federally funded science was largely focused on meeting the Cold War defence needs of a nation in a science and technology race with the Soviet Union.
The 1980 act, named after the two sponsoring senators, Birch Bayh of Indiana and Bob Dole of Kansas, initiated in earnest the recognition that the advancement of science was also vital for global economic competitiveness. ....

International dual and joint degrees to get green light

International dual and joint degrees to get green light
India is set to greenlight dual and joint degrees awarded by Indian universities with international partners as part of its internationalisation plan being pushed through forcefully since its inclusion last year in the National Education Policy (NEP), a blueprint for the next decade.
Foreign universities had already started to explore such opportunities, while noting the challenges of setting up joint or dual degrees.
India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman flagged up the change in her budget speech on 1 February, saying: “To promote enhanced academic collaboration with foreign higher educational institutions, it is proposed to put in place a regulatory mechanism to permit dual degrees, joint degrees, twinning arrangements and other such mechanisms.” ....

Ransomware attacks double against global universities

Ransomware attacks double against global universities
Infosecurity Magazine.
The security vendor’s latest
Cybersecurity in Higher Education report is compiled from an analysis of 2,702 universities across 43 countries, covering the period January 2019 to September 2020. It found that ransomware was the number one threat last year, with attacks increasing 100% and average pay-outs totalling nearly US$450,000.
Many universities have been forced to switch to remote teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis, increasing their exposure to certain threats, BlueVoyant claimed. The surge in ransomware could partly be explained by the fact that over a fifth (22%) of all analysed universities and colleges had open or unsecured remote desktop ports (RDPs). What’s more, two-thirds (66%) lacked protocols like SPF, DKIM and DMARC to help guard against phishing. These tend to be the top two vectors for ransomware. ....

Have Black Lives Matter protests changed the curriculum?

Have Black Lives Matter protests changed the curriculum?
In 1903 the African-American sociologist WEB Du Bois coined the term ‘double consciousness’. American racism, he said, forced African-Americans to see themselves two ways. Among themselves, they were wives, husbands, friends, children. At the same time, America’s racial apartheid, ‘Jim Crow’, forced African-Americans to measure themselves as White America did, that is, with “contempt”.
While discussing with African-American scholars how last spring’s Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests affected the curriculum in universities across North America, I was brought face to face with a latter-day version of ‘double consciousness’.
When speaking about how their teaching and assignments are designed to chip away at racism, the African-American professors Anthony Pinn of Rice University in Houston, Texas, and Ebony McGee of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, sounded much like Professor A ....

How should we tackle moral panics about free speech?

How should we tackle moral panics about free speech?
If there are any institutions that should be above culture wars, they are universities. They live or die by their commitment to ethical standards in research and their mission to ensure that students in the course of their studies learn to think critically about challenging ideas. Yet despite their achievements during the pandemic, universities are currently under attack by governments in many parts of Europe for allegedly embracing ideologies and restricting free speech.
The Polish Minister for Education recently announced that, “especially in the humanities and social sciences”, the way things are going is “not in the direction we would like”. Legislation has been promised to guarantee that academics expressing conservative, Christian or nationalist views will not be disciplined. ....
