Does the Emperor Have the Right (or Any) Clothes? The Public Regulation of Higher Education Qualities over the Last Two Decades

Problem setting. Leasing out property that is involved in educational, academic, training and production, scientific activities by the public institutions of higher education often leads to violation of the rights of other participants in educational activities. They are sure to be a result of violating the limits, established by the current legislation, of exercising the rights to leasing out property by the public institutions of higher educational. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of state property lease have been studied by many scholars. Basic research in this area has been conducted by I. Spasibo-Fatieieva, O. Lipetsker, Ye.Kazarenko, V. Steshenko, M. Pronina, S. Puhinsky, T. Potapenkova, Yu.Basin, D. levenson, N. Khashchivska, N. Milovska and other scientists. Target of research. The aim of the paper is a comprehensive study and analysis of the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: 1) to define the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property; 2) to determine the legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by the public higher educational institutions in violation of current legislation. Article’s main body. The article conducts a general study and analysis of the right of the public institutions of higher education to lease property. The author emphasizes that public higher educational institutions have the right to lease out only real estate and other individually identified property. The legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by public higher educational institutions in violation of the current legislation have been studied. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the results of the study we can formulate the following conclusions. The public institutions of higher education have the right to lease out real estate and other individually determined property in the manner prescribed by law and subject to statutory restrictions (without the right of redemption and sublease, when it does not worsen the social and living conditions of persons studying or working in the educational institution). While leasing the property, the public higher educational institution realizes primarily their own property interests, at the same time, indirectly realizing the property interests of the state. If the lease agreement of real estate and other individually determined property of higher educational institutions is recognized as invalid, it may be recognized as invalid only for the future.

Overvægt spiller en stor rolle i den offentlige debat, mens undervægt til dels er et overset problem. Formålet med denne artikel er at belyse undervægt ud fra et sociologisk perspektiv med fokus på individ- og strukturperspektivet. Til at belyse denne problemstilling anvendes data fra Projekt 3A, som omfatter 1.092 skoleelever i Aalborg Kommune. Undersøgelsen blev foretaget i 2008-2011 med dataindsamling i 2008, da eleverne gik i 6. klasse samt i 2010, da eleverne gik i 8. klasse. Resultaterne viste, at piger med højt uddannede mødre havde en større sandsynlighed for at blive undervægtige end piger af lavt uddannede mødre. Endvidere fremgik det, at sandsynligheden for undervægt steg på de skoler, hvor eleverne blev udsat for en intervention, som øger viden om egen sundhed og til dels en intervention, som er rettet mod adfærdsændringer. Det fremgik desuden også, at interventionen, som øger viden om egen sundhed, øgede den sociale ulighed i vægt. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Annette Quinto Romani: Overdoing the Right Thing – Advantaged Parents and Underweight Overweight is an important topic in the public debate, while underweight is an often ignored problem. The purpose of this article is to shed light on underweight in a sociological perspective focusing on both individual and structural perspectives. To illustrate this I use data from Project 3A, which includes 1.092 schoolchildren in the Municipality of Aalborg. The study was conducted in 2008-2011, where data was collected in 2008 when the schoolchildren attended 6th grade and in 2010 when they attended 8th grade. The results indicate that girls with mothers having a higher education are more likely to be underweight as opposed to girls with lower educated mothers. In addition, the results indicate that the likelihood of underweight to some extend increased among the schoolchildren who were exposed to an intervention that increased their own health knowledge, and to a behavioral altering intervention. Social inequality in weight was increased by the intervention that increases own health knowledge. Key words: Underweight, social inequality, self-perceived weight, issue of elite.

The Right

This chapter turns to the question of who should pay for an education system founded on the right to higher education. First, it explains how moral intuitions about fair funding can challenge the claim that higher education should be allocated as an entitlement or primary good. Second, its show how these intuitions are conventionally justified in terms of a distribution’s effects on socioeconomic equality. Third, it argues that there are also liberty-based reasons for the public to fund higher education. Finally, it shows why these liberty-based reasons take on a special significance in the context of the right to higher education, warranting full public funding so long as two other distributive conditions (non-exclusivity and support for diverse conceptions of the good) are satisfied.

The Right

British Columbia has implemented two significant higher education reforms in the last 15 years. The first was an Access for All policy, and in particular, the creation of a new breed of institution—university colleges—and recognition of the right of colleges and institutes to confer "applied" degrees. The second reform, more recent and potentially with wider effect, is the decision to allow and, in fact, encourage the emergence of a private higher education sector to complement and to compete with the public sector. Although both reforms had the declared objective of enhancing accessibility and choice by expanding opportunities to study for degrees, the more recent one, now being implemented, had the further objective of opening higher education to market forces.

Selection Of

The process of selecting a college should be based on the capabilities and needs of the community. When society is faced with a large selection of college criteria and most societies are confused about choosing the appropriate college for themselves and the job demands. From this it was made a decision support system aimed at helping the community to choose a college that suits the ability and demands of the work. Decision support system plays a role in helping people get the right recommendations in the selection of universities. This decision support system is also designed to help the community to choose a college that suits their needs so that the public is not confused because of the many criteria of universities faced by the community because the admin already has recommendations according to the needs of the community by using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method.

Insight Into

This address examines a growing problem in academia: the public targeted online harassment of faculty. This harassment, organized and carried out by the alt-right and supported by other sectors of the right wing across the spectrum from mainstream to extreme, are intended to silence faculty and censor the curriculum. I examine a range of contextual factors that have facilitated this phenomenon, and discuss the experiences of seven other people, as well as myself, all with connections to higher education, that have experienced this unique form of attack. These conversations provide insight into the patterns evident in the form of the attack, individual and university responses, and informed the creation of lists of recommendations for those experiencing, preparing, and responding to attacks.
