While the Constitution allows University leaders to protect campuses against elements that seek political instability, Rectors have been reluctant to exercise their rights and responsibilities, and to make decisions needed in order to keep faculty, staff and students safe. As a result, University leaders and faculty have not been able to be good stewards of the facilities they have been entrusted with by the public.”<br /><br />“The politicization of the campuses – and specifically the politicization of students – represents a beyond-reasonable involvement in the political process. This is contributing to an accelerated degradation of higher education.”</strong><br /><br />The full report, in English, can be found on the Greek Ministry of Education website at http://www.minedu.gov.gr/english/education/12-04-11-report-of-the-international-committee-on-higher-education-in-greece.htmlCastorpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-38214926086512371272011-11-23T08:08:55.766-08:002011-11-23T08:08:55.766-08:00"All police forces ordered permanently off of..."All police forces ordered permanently off of UC campuses."<br /><br />There's a notion I can support.<br />How about formal dissolution of UCPD via act of Legislation? Things are bad enough even when law enforcement can be held accountable by local elected officials, a circumstance which clearly does not apply to UCPD.<br /><br />BTW there's delicious irony in this suggestion getting public airing in response to acts for which Katehi bears ultimate responsibility.<br />Katehi was on the committee which recently pushed for, successfully, the end of asylum on Greek university campuses. Asylum here meaning a nearly 40 year ban on Greek law enforcement regulating student activities on campuses. A ban enacted in the wake of the fall of the Junta (who brutalized student dissenters), events which occurred while Katehi was an undergrad at... Athens Polytechnic university.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/11/mark-ames-how-uc-davis-chancellor-linda-katehi-brought-oppression-back-to-greece%E2%80%99s-universities.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
