Text of the page (random words):
more visible to those whose lives they affected whether faculty or students they should come clean about their views so that these could be challenged or discussed and indeed so that there could be conversation and debate about the strategic educational cultural and social role of the university and the wider sector so here we are then 2 318 posts and some one and a quarter million views later and i m trying to figure out how much of it ever mattered well nothing in this blog changed the world and i m afraid it didn t start a trend some university heads now use social media and many of these use it more wisely than i did but few present their views in detail and invite comment which is what i hoped might follow but if it didn t change the world it did get noticed over these 11 years this blog has been quoted in newspapers and magazines around the world in at least 12 countries and as is absolutely appropriate it has been criticised here and there with someone quite reasonably suggesting that it was all unbelievable drivel written by someone with an incredible ego who could argue with that well you may have noticed that i have framed all this in the past tense this will be the last post i retired from university leadership eight months ago and what i might say now would be increasingly uninformed there are other interests and goals that i am now pursuing and while i will continue to watch what happens in higher education and may occasionally tweet it seems a little silly to think that i have something especially valuable to say about it so there will be no new posts published here though the blog as long as wordpress continues will remain online i am grateful to the unexpectedly large number of people who have read this blog or subscribed to it and to those who occasionally wrote guest posts for it i am grateful to the many people who wrote comments over 16 000 comments were contributed i have learnt from these and occasionally changed decisions on the basis of comments here that had persuaded me i am more grateful still to the many women and men who work in higher education as students teachers scholars information professionals support workers technicians and others i have noted from time to time that most of these people do not get the credit they deserve and unfortunately they often do not get the support and security that reinforces integrity and freedom i may in time reach for my pen or my keyboard to start another blog but if i do it will be on topics other than higher education but as i leave this blog behind here are my hopes for universities and the higher education community that there will be a greater appreciation of the value of our institutions that they will have access to the resources that will sustain scholarship and learning that people studying and working in higher education will be given the respect and working conditions that is their due that there will be no abuse of power or bullying in future that no one will ever again feel abandoned and lost in the system to the extent that they despair of life that scholars will continue to change the world with their discoveries and critiques that universities will engage still more with the wider communities that they serve that university leaders exercise perhaps to a greater extent than i always did a degree of humility and recognise the value of collegiality when i demitted office as president of dublin city university in july 2010 i said in my farewell address to the dcu community that in the end we manage best when we remain optimistic so that is my parting wish to all of you who engage in higher education that you will always end up believing that the values of higher education will win we have to believe that comments 33 comments the age of reason posted march 14 2019 by universitydiary categories society tags ageism here are some extracts from a newspaper article this week iain conn 56 chief executive of the british gas owner centrica predicted at an event in houston texas that britain would secure a delay past march 29 greg clark 52 business secretary addressed business leaders on a call yesterday after the government revealed that 87 per cent of imports would not face duties under a no deal brexit leo quinn 61 chief executive of balfour beatty said the construction sector stood to benefit once uncertainty was eradicated carolyn fairbairn 58 director general of the cbi called on ministers to seek a delay to brexit that is as short as realistically possible don t worry about which newspaper this is it could have been any of them but why exactly are we being told the ages of the dramatis personae referenced here is it to show that key business figures all come from the same general age group or is it because that is what newspapers and other media outlets do for no good reason at all i would suggest that it is time for this subliminal ageism to come to an end the age of a particular person in no way either validates or invalidates what she out he may are saying and indeed is irrelevant in almost every case to a story if we have to qualify the person in some way why not choose something different and much more interesting why not then refer to joseph freeman favourite vegetable asparagus ceo of traytime plc or frances mapton motor cyclist finance director of traytime plc that would be less ageist and more entertaining comments be the first to comment and again what is higher education actually for posted february 28 2019 by universitydiary categories higher education university tags f m cornford mission there is a wonderful caricature of higher education microcosmographia academica which was written in 1908 by the cambridge classicist francis macdonald cornford in this with his tongue somewhat in cheek he offered advice to the aspiring young academic much of it will not seem dated to contemporary readers amongst the nuggets of advice is this the principle of sound learning is that the noise of vulgar fame should never trouble the cloistered calm of academic existence hence learning is called sound when no one has ever heard of it and sound scholar is a term of praise applied to one another by learned men who have no reputation outside the university and a rather queer one inside it if you should write a book you had better not be sure that it is unreadable otherwise you will be called brilliant and forfeit all respect cornford is said to have inspired some of the dialogue in the bbc series yes minister which indeed also offered some analysis of the academy in some of its episodes not that we need to look outside the universities to find a cocked eyebrow at what goes on inside there novels of david lodge are but one example but are we really all so cynical about higher education and does this matter it does matter because all joking aside higher education matters and the moment you say that everyone goes off in search of the one true purpose meaning and objective of the university system something that can be boiled down enough to satisfy both cornford s cambridge and laurie taylor s poppleton university there are many reasons why universities struggle so much to get proper public and official support not excluding the preference of policymakers for anecdotal rather than empirical evidence when they go forth to bash institutions but one of them is that all of higher education cannot work to the same vision and strategy nor should it but if we pretend that it does or manoeuvre excessively to make it seem that way we open up all sorts of chasms of incredulity that separate universities from their hinterland of natural support we also slide into increasing discontent by members of the academy itself as the very compelling article recently in the irish times by my former dcu colleague greg foley sets out universities individually even more than in higher education sectors as a whole need to discover or re discover a sense of mission that works specifically for them and is shorn of the cynicism that often accompanies such exercises and to remember that this mission whatever exact form it takes is all about the educational social scientific cultural and scientific empowerment of societies which is what unites all of higher education in his advice to the young academic cornford offered the following insight there is only one argument for doing something the rest are arguments for doing nothing the argument for doing something is that it is the right thing to do that s a good place to start comments 1 comment bullying in universities posted february 19 2019 by universitydiary categories university tags bullying most universities make a genuine effort to maintain a culture and atmosphere in which people students and staff can thrive and in which intellectual debate and challenge is encouraged in a setting of personal respect most students staff and faculty also do their utmost to maintain this culture but a few don t and so in some institutions there may be individual cases of bullying and sometimes a more widespread problem in a small number of universities there may even be a pattern of people feeling that they need to leave in order to escape from an oppressive atmosphere sometimes this atmosphere may be either tolerated or even promoted by people in positions of authority in order to get a better sense of people s experiences with this problem i have invited anyone affected to contact me in confidence to allow me to analyse the problem and to see how those in authority can correct it where it is in evidence i published the invitation on twitter and within hours i had received numerous messages and individual stories i will be renewing the invitation this week in order to get as big a sample as possible what have i detected so far first institutional culture is definitely a factor a significant number of those contacting me are attached to a small number of institutions in which many people appear to have been victims not of the same bully but of several in different parts of the organisation including some at or near the top these are institutions that will need to look very closely at their values and how these are maintained in practice and how the institutions are led there are also cases of powerful individuals who moving through different stages of their professional lives leave a trail of bullying behind them with others reluctant to stop them for fear of becoming targets this also leads me to another feature of bullying where it exists the inactive bystander in most cases other people in the organisation are fully aware of what a bully is doing but do nothing or not enough to stop them finally external pressures on universities are clearly sometimes contributing factors to behaviours that can be classified as bullying and higher education may need to be reviewed with a view to ascertaining whether excessive or inappropriate pressures are creating unnecessary human misery it is worth stressing again that this is not a problem everywhere and that many institutions make a real effort to provide a supportive and effective framework for students and for staff but this makes it all the more important that the academy as a whole is seen to offer a good place to study and work it is my intention to write a more detailed report on what i am finding in due course protecting the identity of those who have provided me with their stories my intention is not to shame institutions but to encourage much better practices where these are called for i can be contacted in total confidence at the email address you can find on this page comments be the first to comment heroic villains called to judgement posted february 15 2019 by universitydiary categories history tags kaiser wilhelm stalin winston churchill i know a thing or two about defending historical figures generally held to be villains as a boy i once borrowed a book from a library on kaiser wilhelm ii of germany about whom at the time i knew little or nothing i was aware of my own german heritage and perhaps because of that i became irritated at the tone of the book which painted wilhelm as a cartoon villain with no redeeming features i started to read other books in german as well as in english and began to defend wilhelm particularly in the presence of those who i suspected would be horrified at my attempts in my circle of anglophone juvenile friends and some adults too i became quite notorious for my wilhelmine attachment in 1940 as the netherlands where wilhelm was in exile since his abdication were about to be overrun by nazi germany winston churchill offered the kaiser sanctuary in britain he refused he died a year later having spent the final months of his life under house arrest kaiser wilhelm might be a little less the subject of popular vilification these days but what about churchill last month the scottish green politician ross greer msp expressed the view that winston churchill was a white supremacist and mass murderer it was certainly a good way of attracting attention and soon enough others got into the game the british labour party s shadow chancellor john mcdonnell mp when asked to say whether churchill was a hero or a villain judged him to be the latter this might be seen alongside the attempts in some british political circles of the left to argue that churchill s some time ally stalin was an heroic historical figure what do we take away from all this first it would be good advice to anyone asked to offer a summary judgement on political leaders of any generation to hesitate most people whatever their significance or role are not cartoon characters and good and bad traits are not rarely discoverable together in the same person secondly history is complex just as our present circumstances are also kaiser wilhelm was not a hero but neither was he necessarily a villain winston churchill may have been and actually was a white supremacist but his being so made little impact on history while his decision to stand firm against hitler indisputably did finally we do well to remember that what matters more than your evaluation or mine of great men is what happened to the millions of men and women whose names we do not know and whose lives were made better or worse by what these leaders did that judgement too will never be easy comments 1 comment centrifugal discourse posted february 5 2019 by universitydiary categories politics society tags brexit centrist leave means leave generally i like to be informed about the opinions held by people and groups with whom i disagree i may hold the views i hold but i am interested to hear from those who think differently and occasionally i change my mind so i do not support or like brexit i think it is a stupid idea i think it exposes the united kingdom to huge economic risks and perhaps more significantly it will lower its standing in the world but as in all things i could be wrong and so i like to listen to what brexiteers are saying and in that spirit ...
