Institutional Mechanism

Policy guidelines against sexual harassment in institutions of Higher Learning were introduced in 128 public sector universities across Pakistan in January 2011. However, there has been an increase in the number of reported cases of sexual harassment that became prominent in mainstream media, so the institutional mechanism and the official definition of sexual harassment still needs a lot of clarity. The study aims to investigate the perception, prevalence and awareness of sexual harassment among university students along with possible causes of underreporting of the incidents of sexual harassment. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling were used for data collection from students and members of sexual harassment committees respectively. The research findings revealed that sexual harassment at campus is a common phenomenon although majority of the cases go unreported owing to different institutional and cultural constraints. Instead of reporting to university administration, students adopt self adjustment mechanism by reducing the stay at campus or reducing the possibility of contact with males. There is dire need of more awareness sessions about what is sexual harassment and what students can do to deal with it.

Compulsory Subject

The Islamic Civilisation and Asian Civilisation (TITAS) course is offered as a compulsory subject in Malaysian institutions of higher learning (IHL) to expose undergraduates to the world and regional civilization history. In addition, it is aimed at inculcating ethnic tolerance among university students in aspects of diversity relevant to the context of Malaysia with its diverse races, ethnicities, and religions. This study sought to investigate the effectiveness of the TITAS course in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) as a medium for the inculation of ethnic tolerance and also to identify the necessity of continuing to offer TITAS as a liberal course in the Centre for the Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning (PPIB) in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). The survey method was utilized and a questionnaire that had been adapted to suit the research objectives administered to 475 undergraduates enrolled in the TITAS course during their first year of studies. Descriptive analysis of the findings suggested that TITAS should be continued in PPIB so as to maintain its role as a medium for the inculcation of ethnic tolerance among undergraduates.

Abstract Little is known about the perceptions of Chinese citizens regarding U.S. domestic politics, particularly among university students in the People’s Republic of China. During their time at institutions of higher learning, U.S. students often experience heightened political awareness and increased engagement with political issues. Scholars have conducted minimal research, however, among their Chinese counterparts. Given the current political climate, as the United States and the prc have an exceptionally contentious relationship, the opinions of Chinese students regarding the most recent U.S. presidential candidates have particular interest. This case study examines 506 Chinese university students’ perspectives on U.S. 2020 presidential election candidates Donald J. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. Findings indicate that there is a negative perception of Trump, a great deal of uncertainty regarding Biden, and considerable diversity among opinions overall.

Therefore, this paper aims to propose an innovation model devotes to Research Universities in Malaysia. In line with this, the paper reviews the important elements of innovation, followed by comparison of elements in corporate and academic innovation models. Finding from this paper suggested that building-up innovation competency in Research University requires an innovation model that integrates all innovation elements from holistic business points of view.
