The Right

Abstract Student protests have developed on campuses throughout the country in response to controversial speakers. Overwhelmingly, these protests have been framed as conflicts over the right to free speech and the importance of free inquiry on college campuses. This essay reframes conflicts like these as moral disagreements over the role of individuals and institutions in producing and disseminating knowledge that supports or undermines justice within a pluralistic, democratic society. Using the specific case of Charles Murray’s visit to Middlebury College in spring 2017 and drawing insight from social moral epistemology, the essay aims to clarify the moral concerns at stake in clashes over controversial speakers and to identify possibilities to advance the moral aims of institutions of higher education in response to such events.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) have used restorative justice (RJ) to address sexual misconduct on college campuses under Title IX. In 2020, Title IX guidance was codified. The application of RJ under the new policy may create procedural and distributive justice issues. This article (1) defines the new policy; (2) explores suitability of RJ to sexual misconduct and specifically yellow zone behavior under the new policy; (3) discusses justice for the various stakeholders under the guise of advantages and disadvantages; and (4) makes recommendations to strengthen the choice of either implementing or not implementing restorative justice.

Institutions of higher education have a major role to play in preparing the younger generation for a propitious future. Apart from imparting quality education, they need to instill high ethical values and practices amongst the student fraternity. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the various facets of education and the role of ethics in the field of higher education. An attempt has been made to emphasize and highlight the perspective on the importance of ethics in higher education through a review of literature. A small primary study was also conducted involving the faculty of a few universities in India as respondents. The respondents were administered a questionnaire on “Ethics in Higher Education” to gauge a link between the theory and practice.

New Model

In the last decade, there has been a greater focus on social justice concerns in United States. These concerns include addressing situations of racism, microaggressions, and racial injustices. As a result of these concerns, the need for social justice has become more apparent for institutions of higher education to adjust and rethink how they become more inclusive and provide more equitable opportunities for all stakeholders. Institutions of higher education are being pushed into unfamiliar territory, and the role of academics and high education institutions will need to be redefined in a new model of true systematic change and policy overhaul. How do institutions of higher education (colleges and universities) become more accountable in reshaping their purpose and mission statements through the lens of social justice and inclusivity? This chapter will generate insights and illuminate ongoing institutional conversations regarding the successful adoption of social justice frameworks and practices in the foundations of higher education.

The University

Institutions of higher education in the twenty-first century are undergoing a transformation locally and globally from traditional pillars of learning to being more entrepreneurial in their core business. There is increasing pressure on universities to becoming more flexible and adaptable as organizations and in the graduate attributes, they imbed in their students. There is a need to build deeper links with business, to both maximize innovation and promote growth, to ensure students are equipped to excel in the workforce. This change is having a disruptive effect on the role of universities, from classical research institutions to entrepreneurial universities mimicking more of the modern workplace working environment, requiring autonomy in their decision-making and in the way new research is developed, implemented and transferred in the relationships formed within their respective regions. This article outlines work in progress on the University of South Australia’s attempts to rebrand itself as a University of Innovation and Enterprise (Australia’s University of Enterprise) in both its end-user inspired research outcomes and industry-informed teaching and learning.

The Relationship

Management in the context of higher education has been characterized by the predominance of male participation, mainly in senior management positions. As a result, women’s low participation is mainly concentrated in lower management positions, and their chances of escalating hierarchical positions are mediated by various factors ranging from subjective to socially naturalized. The objective of this research is to analyze the barriers women face to enter and escalate positions in university management in Colombia. Under a qualitative design, 26 semi-structured interviews were applied to university managers from different institutions of higher education in Colombia. The transcripts were analyzed using discourse analysis through three categories: individual, internal, and external barriers of the university. It was found that women face entry and promotion barriers marked by experiences, and conditions of inequality and discrimination in a male-dominated context. These barriers are conditioned by personal elements, organizational culture, and the social role of women. In addition, women’s trajectories involve mediation between professional development and family life. The study reveals experiences that contribute to understanding the research phenomenon from the webbing of senses and meanings. It is posited that the “glass ceiling” is mediated by variables in the internal order, and by the relationship between universities and their context.

Socioeconomic Impacts

Ao longo dos anos, as Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) têm sido objeto de programas governamentais com vistas a reestruturá-las internamente e expandi-las. Muitas dessas IFES se encontram instaladas em cidades médias e pequenas, levando a transformações e impactos socioeconômicos. Assim, buscou-se compreender o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG e sua relação com as expansões da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). Dessa forma, foi possível observar a existência de uma relação direta entre as expansões da UFV e o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG, assim como um aumento no número de edifícios acima de 4 pavimentos, localizando-se, principalmente, nas vias adjacentes à UFV, mudanças na tipologia dos edifícios e dos apartamentos. Destaca-se, também, um papel proeminente do investidor alavancando o processo de verticalização e uma permissividade do poder público frente à produção maciça de espaços verticalizados. Abstract THE VERTICALIZATION PROCESS IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF VIÇOSA - MG: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON EXPANSION OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF VIÇOSA AND ITS IMPACT ON THE URBAN SPACE STRUCTURE Over the years, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior - IFES) have been the focal point of governmental programs seeking to restructure them internally and to expand them. Many of these IFES are located in medium and small cities, leading to transformations and socioeconomic impacts. Thus, this study sought to understand the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa-MG and its relationhsip with the expansion of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). It was possible to observe the existence of a direct relationship between the expansions of the UFV and the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa, as well as an increase in the number of buildings taller than 4 stories, mainly located on roads adjacent to the UFV, and changes in the typology of buildings and apartments. Also noteworthy is the prominent role of the investor in leveraging the verticalization process and the permission of public powers considering the massive production of verticalized spaces.
