our universities. the student was given an exam where the question so-called was explain why george bush is a war criminal. and she was a fairly traditional person. and so she could not bring herself to answer that question or to explain why george bush is a war criminal. she explained why saddam hussein was a war criminal. she was failed on the examine. and that was then adjusted by an appeals process. what happened i was attacked by the the -- by an agent of the american association of university professors in the cleveland deal. by the way, the media generally, the mainstream, big city papers, small city papers, all are on the political left when it comes to these issues. in this column said that i had invented the student, claims identify -- claims i've tried to find the student, professor, and course and couldn't. the first set was that i was lying. there was no such student. i had made the whole thing up. then, you know, we went to work. and they had to admit, of course, there was a student, ther

but it measures only one small aspect of what a university does russian universities are dissatisfied with the places they occupy in world rankings and question the criteria used by western rating agencies spotlights to me that i will have more. novice sullivan game this year's nobel prize winners both graduated from the moscow institute of physics and technology but you want to find it on the list the world's top universities russia's higher education officials claim the country is under represented in international university rankings it's usually only the moscow state university which makes it through to the top one hundred and then it's down at the bottom of the list the major russian university has begun question and the great theory used for the ratings it says the data used in the surveys is not always reliable numbers that it can go we pointed out a mistake one of the region agencies and after they have been corrected we were up fifty points because of just one mistake which means there must be always the right to go for a university to lodge an appeal. to moscow state univers

-- 12 major universities. at the university of santa cruz there's a course which is described in the university catalog in these exact words, the goal is to learn how to organize a revolution, and then it explains that the revolution is anti-capitalist. a proper academic course would examine the proposition, first of all, that a democratic society where you can vote people in and out of power needs a revolution or that a revolution might be a good idea considering the bloody failures of revolutions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. and it would present text on, presumably on both sides of controversial issues as to whether capitalism is a bad or a good system given all the other systems that are possible. but this course just was how to organize a revolution. completely improper in a, in any university calling itself a modern research university that respects academic freedom. but especially in a state institution. seven years ago i began a campaign to try to address this system. one of the serious probl

speaker, the universities have made it clear that all public funding will be withdrawn from universities. last wednesday, the minister told the was minister people that we will continue to support the arts and teaching in university. who is right? >> mr. speaker, the statement that we made is very clear. what i hope he will accept is the model of next financing for our universities. part of this is from the government and part is from graduates. hundreds of thousands of extra earnings after getting a university degree is something we need to follow as a progressive manner. >> are center provides valuable support. while i welcome the continued support from the government, the prime minister reassured me that the program would be right refocused said that those with integrated need would give greater support. >> children centers to play a vital role in helping a a family, and giving them that hooked when they need it and early intervention. in the spending review we have said that funding would remain. in terms of how that funding is allocated is the question. the way in which that money i

not to give universities more funds, no. to replace the cuts he's making to university teaching. can he tell the house -- mr. speaker, can he tell the house about the tuition fees? >> and they also had plans to make massive cuts massive cuts in the department's budget which would have affected higher education. here are a few facts. every single graduate under our scheme will pay less. the bottom 25% of earners will pay much less in their contributions to their university education. than they do at the moment. part-time students will pay no upfront fees and not a single student will pay a penny of upfront fees, whatsoever. it is a fair and progressive solution to very difficult problem. >> it looks as though he's been taking lessons from the prime minister on how not to answer the question. i asked him about the teaching grant. the truth is it's a staggering 80%, 80%. no wonder he's ducking the questions. the real reason he's hiking up fees is because he's pulling the plug on public funding and dumping the cost onto the students. isn't that's why he's ducking on tuition fees? >>

the flow university and myself reach a settlement this is the whole universe the state. today we are free to the resolution of our dispute with professor finkelstein. as a part of that resolution he has agreed to design a fact immediately. professor finkelstein is a prolific scholar and an outstanding teacher at the university thanks jim thank you thank you thank the university thanks him for his contributions and his service. i know a great deal about the finkelstein tenure case because the paul asked me to write a letter on finkelstein which i did and then i followed the case very closely from start to finish and i think this is an open and shut case i think that finkelstein should have got tenure he's not a teacher he's a propagandist he's not a scholar he simply writes screeds the scandal was that paul university ever appointed him in the first place they appointed him because hard left professors who didn't care at all about his lack of scholarship just like his ideological. radicalism and lowered the standards to appoint him so it was a good decision to deploy univ

should make a contribution for the costs of that university education. the question is how do you do it? do you do it fairly? do you do it in a progressive way? the proposals we have put forward -- those that earn the most will pay much less than they do. those that earn the most will pay a subsidy to allow people from poor backgrounds to go to university, and will for the first time end the discrimination against the 40% of people that are part time students in our university so shamefully treated by our government. >> none of us agree with tuition fees of 9,000 pounds. mr. speaker, this is not about the deficit. the chancellor says it's their wish by 2015, when this new system will hardly have begun. this is not about the deficit. this is about him going along with a plan to shut the cost of higher education on students and their families. mr. speaker, we all know what it's like. you meet up with a dodgey bloke and you do things that you regret. [laughter] >> let's remember the labour party's record against tuition fees in 2007, introduced a few months

coursework from university professors right on the campus. the charter school's on the campus. so it's a great opportunity for these students to take courses early. demystify the university experience. close that chasm between high school and higher ed. and we've had great success with it. last year we had 52 students in that program. 51 are in four-year colleges today. one went to the service. but those others are moving on. this year we have 90 and they're taking classes like calculus and english and chicano latino studies, just some relevanced classes. and we have high expectations for them in their performance. >> that's what we need. my first step on a college campus wasn't until a month before i started college. that's unacceptable. >> yeah. the earlier we start with students, the better. just to get them on campus as even third-graders, to see the university. but having students take college courses, regular college courses actually with a college professor, we've got some tremendous professor that's are highly motivated, inspirational
