ResumoO artigo aqui apresentado tem como proposta de análise compreender o papel da universidade na concretização de ações educativas voltadas para a temática étnico-racial, uma vez que essas instituições, no Brasil, têm um histórico de produção do conhecimento pautado numa visão que privilegia, ainda, uma formação centrada em valores europeizantes. Nesta perspectiva, nossa análise tem como preocupação perceber como as relações étnico-raciais vêm emergindo no debate pós-colonial e qual a relação possível entre educação para as relações étnico-raciais e a universidade atual, a fim de projetarmos olhares múltiplos sobre a temática racial, temática esta tão disseminada nos últimos anos, mas tão dicotômica quanto a sua interpretação por parte do Estado brasileiro e significativas para o entendimento do processo de colonialismo e suas marcas na atualidade, silenciando o protagonismo de grande parte da população diferenciada pela cor da pele.Palavras-chave: Pós-Colonialismo.

The quality of students who graduated from Nigerian universities and the role played by universities in the growth of society is a significant concern to every stakeholder. This study examined the impact of distributed leadership on the effectiveness of public universities and the mediating role of the quality administrative process. A correlational survey research design was adopted. A total of 450 lecturers were sampled and were given questionnaire of which 346 questionnaire were returned and, only 305 questionnaires were usable after the data cleaning. The results of the analysis showed that distributed leadership does not directly connect to institutional effectiveness. Furthermore, it is evident that administrative process intervenes in the correlation between distributed leadership and public university effectiveness. The findings imply that the various leaders at the unit level, departmental, faculty, and university-wide must ensure quality administrative processes to bring about the desired University system in the country.   Keywords: Distributed leadership, administrative process, university education, Nigeria, smartpls, hierarchical model;

This is a white paper submitted as part of the joint NIH/NSF-funded event, "Imagining Tomorrow’s University: Rethinking scholarship, education, and institutions for an open, networked era", to be held March 8th and 9th in Rosemont, IL. In this paper I present my personal (not my employer's) thoughts and reflections on the role that open research can play in defining the purpose and activities of the university. I have made some specific recommendations on how I believe the public university can recommit and push the boundaries of its role as the creator and promoter of public knowledge. In doing so, serving a vital role to the continued economic, social, and technological development of society. I have also included some thoughts on how this applies specifically to my field of engineering and how a culture of openness and sharing within the engineering community can help drive societal development.

Key Words: Graduates, education institutions, labor market, universityAbstract. The market labor for the University graduates has become one of the top issues in academic daily occupation. Education institutions must understand that they had to be part of the occupational efforts made by its graduates. When I was teaching in Germany, the university official told and make very clear that I must not talk about the entrepreneurship sprit to the students; “there is a greart unemployment out there, there is no job available for our students, our only commitment is give them education, find a job is on their own”. Doing nothing to help them to relocate in the labor market, is worst, and I consider is our job to.Palabras claves: Graduados, instituciones educativas, mercado de trabajo, unviersidadesResumen. La colocación en el marcado laboral para los graduados de las universidades se ha convertido en un de los puntos mas importantes de las agendas de trabajo de las instituciones educativas. Las Universidades y las Instituciones Educativas deben comprender que tiene que ser parte de los esfuerzos de colocación en el mercado de trabajo que llevan a cabo sus graduados. Cuando me encontraba en Alemania dando clases, las autoridades de la Escuela de Pedagogía, me dejaron bien claro al advertirme que no debería de hablar a los estudiantes sobre el espíritu emprendedor: “existe por ahora un gran desempleo aquí, básicamente no hay trabajo para nuestro estudiantes, nuestra único compromiso es educarlos, buscar trabajo es por su cuenta”. No hacer nada para ayudarlos a colocarse en el mercado de trabajo es lo peor, y debe aun, ser considerado nuestra responsabilidad.

It is natural for scientists, public figures, university professors and other higher education institutions, trustees of educa-tional districts, ministers of public education, statesmen, etc. to show interest in the so-called “university issue” in the conditions of formation and development of domestic university education in the XIX – the early XX century. Particularly heated discussions on this problem arise at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the activities of universities were regulatedby the reactionary statute of 1884. Many well-known progressives (V. Vernadskyi, M. Pyrohov, I. Sechenov, K. Timiriaziev, Ye. Tru-betskoi, S. Trubetskoi, P. Fortunatov, O. Shvarts and others) advocated the expansion of university rights, and the idea of an au-tonomous independent university became key. The position of supporters of the independence of universities was manifested in the relevant appeals. Thus, in 1899, ten professors submitted a note to the Minister of Education, which referred to the humiliating role of teachers, defined by regula-tions. In 1905, 342 scholars prepared for publication in the journal “Herald of Europe” a special document “Note on the needs of education”, which spoke about the progress of scientific progress through the efforts of domestic scientists and the inappro-priate attitude of the authorities to such achievements. Numerous publications show interest in the university issue. For example, O. Posnikov, V. Sobolevskyi, O. Chuprov substantiate the effectiveness of university autonomy in the columns of the periodical “Russian Gazette”. K. Timiriaziev in his own collection of articles “Science and Democracy” advocates the principle of academic freedom. P. Struve in the preface to O. Heorhiievskyi’s book “A Brief Essay on Government Measures and Predictions Against Student Riots” reflects on human rights violations in universities, the oppression of the rights of teachers and students. V. Vernadskyi writes in the article “On the Professorial Congress” about the importance of creating an “Association for Achieving Academic Freedom and Improving the Conditions of Academic Life”. The study made it possible to state a great interest in the “university question” at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. Note that this problem is related to the conceptual “idea of the university”, which is interpreted as a combination of the whole set of knowledge and ideas about the university: goals, objectives, principles, structure, functions, internal and external relations,place and role in society at a certain specific historical stage.

This essay is informed by five different but interrelated conversations all focusing on the relationship between the city and the university. Suggesting the clown as metaphor, I explore the particular role of the activist scholar, and in particular the liberation theologian that is based at the public university, in his or her engagement with the city. Considering the shackles of the city of capital and its twin, the neoliberal university, on the one hand, and the city of vulnerability on the other, I then propose three clown-like postures of solidarity, mutuality and prophecy to resist the shackles of culture and to imagine and embody daring alternatives.

This study explores the perceptions of undergraduate students and their teachers towards the current and future role of learning with technologies in university education in China. Data from a survey completed by 1,740 undergraduate students from 12 universities and colleges throughout a rural province in north-eastern China was supplemented by an analysis of student response to learning with technology in Chinese classroom contexts using visual ethnography. The analysis of the data indicated that the use of technologies in the undergraduate classrooms in this study has had little effect on the way the university lecturers teach, but that their undergraduate students made extensive use of mobile technologies for interpersonal communication and learning outside the classroom, albeit not necessarily in relation to their formal education. These changes raise questions about the key role of socio-cultural expectations regarding effective education in determining the uptake of learning with technologies.
