This research paper is based on analysing the grievances of students studying in Universities and the way they are handled. After analysing various books, websites, Acts, reports of committees, articles and case laws on the subject, it is found that the grievances of students may include issues related to admissions, withdrawal from the Course, ragging, attendance, debarring from appearing in exams, non-issuance of admit cards, unfair marking, delayed results, issuance of degree and mark sheets, harassment and discrimination on basis of caste, race, religion or sex etc. But due to weak regulatory mechanism coupled with autonomous behaviour of Indian Universities, the grievances of University’s students are not properly addressed. The legal safeguards become essential. We have seen that after ragging was declared an offence, the cases dropped intensely. However, Laws can help to prevent, but not cure. Supreme Court in its decisions observed that it is the duty of teachers to take such care of the pupils as a careful parent would take of his children and they should conduct himself more like some Rishi and also as loco parentis. Further, the educational institutions and the civil society should take sufficient measures for the safety, security and equality. The civic learning is the need of hour and should be an integral component at each and every level of system of education. Many countries have in place proper civic learning at school as well as in higher education. For instance, USA have specially designed courses, while Some others have a civic education in all courses with themes of inequality, diversity, religious oppression, racism, sexism, classism and the like. Having the widened diversity in India, we badly require a similar structure in our system of education.

The paper deals with the problem of network dependence of Russian news magazines and the actual dictates of international network structures (Scopus, WOS, etc.) that set their own requirements for their content and quality. The latter influence not only the scientific rating of journals, but also the publishing policy of their publications. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the rules of the game imposed by them have been adopted by the country's state authorities and, first of all, by the Ministry of science and higher education of the Russian Federation, which has tightened the requirements for reports of scientific and educational institutions, as well as researchers and teachers, including mandatory publications in Scopus and other international databases. Despite the efforts made by the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the leadership of higher education institutions, Russian science was dependent on these structures, which began to determine the directions and priorities of its development, including selecting the subject and language of journal publications. The scientific community of Russia is faced with the task of protecting the interests of journal editors and protecting the right of authors to Express their own scientific position and the ability to present publications in their native language.

Fraternal organizations are a valuable component of the American higher education experience. Among the many benefits promised by fraternity and sorority organizations is that a student may be connected to a network of powerful leaders in business and politics. As self-funded organizations with democratic processes pulled from the U.S. system of government, fraternal organizations can serve a unique role in preparing college students for a life of civic engagement and democratic leadership. This chapter explores the potential for fraternities, sororities, and inter-fraternal organizations to offer a complimentary, highly personalized, and values-driven form of civic education that may be offered through higher education institutions.

As youth in protracted refugee situations reach adulthood, the challenges of providing education to them have increased. Along the Thai-Burmese border, some creative approaches are being taken in order to respond to their needs. This article describes four programs, each with a different character. Although available to relatively few, they demonstrate some roles that civil society, and in particular educators and educational institutions, can play in delivering or in ensuring access to higher education for refugee youth living in protracted situations. Most critical are creativity, flexibility, and respectful collaboration betwee neducators and both refugee and host communities.

Workers’ faculties (rabfak) began their work to help the workers and the poorest countrymen in gaining necessary knowledge for admission to higher educational institutions. The article examines the moment of the rabfak establishment from the point of view of students who wrote to the authorities. The analysis of letters helps us trace milestones in students’ lives, such as entering workers’ faculties, studies, graduation, along with the related problems. Most of the letters to the authorities dealt with the students’ personal problems and their involvement into getting proper education, without considering systemic issues, such as inefficient learning in some institutions or the lack of students with a certain specialization. Students’ letters also help us look more closely at the problems of rabfak students, especially since those letters are rarely allocated into individual cases; much more often they are mixed with the appeals of students and/or other citizens to certain authorities. Partially, the topics contained in the letters were the subject of a wide public discussion of the 1920s (overload of educational and social work, difficult living conditions, the need to work additionally, etc.); others concerned the individual situation of a particular student: transfer to another university for family reasons, disappointment in the profession, etc. The letters give an idea not only about the peculiarities of studying at the workers’ faculty, but also about the student life of that time, relations between students, and the perception of the higher education system by young people as well

The Military

Introduction. While the military is viewed differently in Canada and Ukraine, inclusion of veterans into civil society is important for both countries. Transition from the military service to civilian life can be challenging. Therefore, the role of different institutions and organizations, that focus on trying to improve what is available for former soldiers and their families has to be discussed. The purpose of the article is to explore the role that higher educational institutions can and should play in assisting former military to better integrate into civilian society – civil society. Methods. Researchers conducted a literature review of journal articles and other relevant written materials as well as informal interviews with key informants. Results. Using the mixed methods of literature search, informal interviews with key informants, and observation, the article considers the way “veterans” are conceptualized in both Canada and Ukraine and how two particular universities in Canada and Ukraine now attempt to meet the needs of former military members, wondering how their needs may differ and be similar to other students of higher education. Originality. The article concludes that, since civil society in general has a responsibility to support veterans in their transition, and notes that there are gaps in both understanding of need and awareness/availability of appropriate resources, a full needs assessment is the next step. Conclusion. The authors recommend a pilot needs assessment at the LPNU in Lviv Oblast where a number of veterans have made their homes.

Historically Black Institutions

There has been a recent push on a majority of American campuses to become more diverse in all aspects of their everyday life. For this reason, several institutions have to rethink how they approach the subject of diversity. Educational institutions, including historically Black institutions, must bridge socio-economic, racial and other differences if they are to thrive in a higher education environment that is continually becoming more competitive as demographics shift. This chapter illustrates how changing demographics, the benefits of continued diversification, and the value that is continuously being placed on diversity should influence positive change and shape the character and institutional climate of historically Black institutions. The chapter underscores the need for HBCUs to create cultural climates in which all students are recruited, appreciated and valued regardless of their racial or socio-economic backgrounds as a strategy to achieve competitiveness.

Financial Uncertainty

This chapter focuses on the importance of budgets in higher education and their role in advancing civic engagement on college campuses. In a period marked by calls for societal change following the 2020 presidential election, the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, higher education may be the only institution left to respond to society's ills. Institutions must find ways to deliver high-quality education safely, while also encouraging active civic learning as a part of the experience. Higher education's investment in civic education will be a key component to any response to the challenges facing America. Institutions must prepare to respond in kind during a period marked by financial uncertainty.
