A Study on the Limit of Self-Legislative Power of National University -in reference to retirement age clause as ineligibility for a university president-

Social mobility without migration (on-the-spot brain drain) is a typical phenomenon of social mobility of high-quality science and technology (S&T) human resources at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), in which a very important factor affecting this social mobility is the disparity, unequal reward in science, for instance the remuneration policies in science, the salary, bonus policy... Besides, the rate of social mobility entering VNU is low, while the number of people at retirement age are mainly high-qualified people, which has made the work of fostering the next generation and attracting S&T human resources becomes a topical and urgent issue. In recent years, VNU has had policies to attract high quality human resources, but it has not been as effective as expected due to lack of resources for implementation, one of the most important resources is financial resource. Attracting high-quality science and technology human resources at VNU is facing many challenges in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, extensive international integration, and challenges from the goals that VNU has set to 2025, vision to 2030.

Background: There are presently no validated scales to adequately measure the stigma of suicide in the community. The Stigma of Suicide Scale (SOSS) is a new scale containing 58 descriptors of a “typical” person who completes suicide. Aims: To validate the SOSS as a tool for assessing stigma toward suicide, to examine the scale’s factor structure, and to assess correlates of stigmatizing attitudes. Method: In March 2010, 676 staff and students at the Australian National University completed the scale in an online survey. The construct validity of the SOSS was assessed by comparing its factors with factors extracted from the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire (SOQ). Results: Three factors were identified: stigma, isolation/depression, and glorification/normalization. Each factor had high internal consistency and strong concurrent validity with the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire. More than 25% of respondents agreed that people who suicided were “weak,” “reckless,” or “selfish.” Respondents who were female, who had a psychology degree, or who spoke only English at home were less stigmatizing. A 16-item version of the scale also demonstrated robust psychometric properties. Conclusions: The SOSS is the first attitudes scale designed to directly measure the stigma of suicide in the community. Results suggest that psychoeducation may successfully reduce stigma.
