University council Update | July 11, 2024šŸ’™In the 6th and last University Council as the 29th board and academic year on the 11th of July, didn't contain a lot of discussion points.The questions we had were all answered in the committee meetings before the University council. We consented to the BBR and the selection regulations for the master Psychology. We also gave positive advice for the Management Rapportage (MaRap) and the ITK self-evaluation. The positive advice for the ITK was with the side notes, because the common EER information needs to be changed. This University Council we submitted 2 letters and 1 memo.The first letter was about making use of smart devices to measure the occupancy rate of lecture halls to reduce evening lectures. This will allow the university to be smarter about the use ofbuildings and especially scheduling of classes. The goal is to reduce the number of evening classes and exams.The second letter is about Tilburg University's diversity & inclusion network. We asked the board to look at the networks of other cities and take an example of these extended diversity and inclusion networks. In other cities they have a very broad network when it comes to D&I. Something where there are still many opportunities for Tilburg University.The memo that was submitted is about studying with support needs. We asked the Executive board to set up a working group that identifies the barriers for the students with support needs and the impact their support needs have on their studies. We would eventually like to see that the educational facilities are fully embedded in the education that Tilburg University provides.Finally, we addressed the disappearance of the chocolate milk once again. We explicitly asked the board to look into possible sugar-free options. This way, the missed chocolate milk can possibly make its re-entry on this campus!

    It is not faculty governance- it is co-governance. For too long, boards, administrators, and even student governance bodies have abdicated co-governing. Faculty are critical at universities, but no single group should co-govern unchecked. It results in lack of strategic and operational balance in an institution.

    ARE WE MISSING THE WOODS FOR THE TREES?All educational institutions seem to be working towards promoting their national and global rankings in one way or the other. An array of indices is looked into for awarding ranks, such as students to teacher ratio, number of international students, number of international faculty members, grants brought in by faculty, number of publications churned out by the faculty, patents filed, PhDs graduated etc. But, the studentsā€™ satisfaction and their well-being do not seem to figure while evaluating the institutions for ranking. When a new faculty member joins an institution, even before they are mentored for their new role, it is emphasized that they start taking research students, write grant proposals and set their eyes on upward movement. In the process, the losers are the students and the teaching/learning ecosystem. Arenā€™t we doing a great disservice to our younger generation by literally dis-incentivizing any interaction the new faculty would have with the students? No wonder, many students feel lost and take extreme steps.The students in many government institutions are from a varied background of the society, but even now the faculty members in these institutions are from a very narrow cross-section. In many engineering departments of old IITs, the number of women faculty members and faculty members from marginalized groups are very few. Many of the faculty members come into the profession straight after PhD. They are neither mentored for their roles nor are they sensitized about the paramount importance of interacting with students. Undue attention is given to numbers while the faculty are being hired/promoted: how many PhD students are graduated by a faculty? How many papers a faculty has published? What are the citation numbers, h-index, i-10 index etc.? How much of money a faculty has brought in in the form of grants? In this process centered only on metrics, the casualty is studentsā€™ well-being.It is true that it is not easy to quantify the quality of faculty interactions with students and also the quality of teaching. If we do pose questions in open fora getting ideas for quantifying these, we will be able to find a tangible methodology. It is important for people at the helm of education sector to ponder over these issues so that the damage perpetrated on the student community is contained and reversed in the future.

    KEYNOTE. Equity in Higher Education? Yes we can!Equity in higher education is a pressing issue warranting concerted attention and action. This keynote seeks to elucidate the current state of inequity in higher education, examining the structural, systemic factors that perpetuate disparities. We draw on higher-education data, highlighting the disparities across socioeconomic and racial lines. Importantly, our approach empirically rejects deficit and colorblind ideologies which ignore or oversimplify the complexities of systemic inequity. Instead, we argue that confronting these issues directly and honestly is not only possible but necessary. We propose innovative strategies and policy recommendations that acknowledge and value diversity, are underpinned by recent research, and are inspired by successful case studies from around the globe. These strategies aim to foster inclusivity, improve access, and enhance outcomes for all students. Emphasizing the need for institutional commitment, faculty engagement, and curricular transformation, we offer a robust blueprint for change. This presentation underscores the pivotal role of higher education institutions in advancing equity by actively acknowledging and addressing systemic disparities.https://lnkd.in/eSDRR4Vn

    Tomorrow is the last day that we, students and staff members of University of Amsterdam can contribute to the Think Along (Denk Mee) platform about the Framework that is being used for assessing collaborations with third parties! I encourage you to respond to the Initial Reflections of the independent working group tasked with advising the BoD and Deans of UvA on this issue. These reflections contain the following [here edited for brevity] recommendations:1. On the basis of the university-wide consultations, the working group concludes that there is sufficient support for the notion that, in addition to academic freedom, the university also has ā€œacademic responsibilityā€. 2. The supplemented Framework should include ā€œtriggersā€ for (re)assessing existing collaborations in exceptional political circ*mstances, such as for instance ongoing and emerging wars or conflicts involving war crimes or crimes against humanity, or the perpetration of gross and systematic violations of human rights in a country or area where a partner organization is based. 3. As a general principle, assessing ongoing collaborations should only be considered in the gravest of circ*mstances, while taking into consideration contractual obligations and the impact on the relationships with partners and funding organisations.4. The supplemented Framework should define criteria for ā€œtrusted sourcesā€ (e.g., objective information and/or advice from official international organisations, such as the UN or the EU or international courts) to rely on for assessments of institutional or project-based international collaborations. 5. The Framework should be extended with additional assessment criteria for other core tasks of the university, such as education, societal engagement and patient care. 6. Alongside the project-to-project level assessment, which is currently in place, collaborations with organisations in conflict zones (based on the set of indicators mentioned under point 2) should receive extra scrutiny. 7. It is advisable to leave room for differentiation between different organizational units (e.g., faculties) from an institution in this risk assessment framework.8. The supplemented Framework should include clear process steps and scenarios on the consequences of (temporary) suspensions of collaborations (e.g., the consequences of a temporary suspension for study programmes or research collaborations).9. In addition to the supplemented framework, an ā€œexplainerā€ must be developed, outlining the types of collaborations (institutional, project-based etc.) as well as the relevant mandates and responsibilities for decision-making for each type of collaboration.10. The working group recommends to continue the process for developing a supplemental framework after the summer break.https://lnkd.in/e9KX9kPR#scienceethics #centraldiversityoffice #diversityequityinclusion

    At the request of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science we are conducting a study together with & Oberon Onderzoek en Advies on the content of institutional plans of Dutch #HigherEd institutions. Our colleagues Harry De Boer & Frans Kaiser are working on this super interesting project that aims to make better use of institutional plans and gain insight into the trends, developments and themes that universities focus on. These trends and developments are compared with the #policy themes of the šŸ‡³šŸ‡± Ministry and contribute to the dialogue on higher education policy. https://lnkd.in/ekUguSJj

    Dare I say that the professoriate's scholastic work and grants factors little into the average high school student's decision where to attend. Nor is it the number of tenured faculty at an institution. It's normally the cost, availability of the program of interest, proximity to home, institutional reputation, etc. Increasingly, it's the career pathway opportunities.Yet tenure normally weights scholarship higher than teaching or service (at least at research universities). Creative teaching, innovative course design, introduction of technology is often *discouraged* because it distracts from the tenure process and counts little toward the triumvirate. Ironically, some of my best faculty over the years were adjuncts, non-tenure-track instructors, and grad students. Many of the FT faculty in my travels could care less about teaching in large lecture halls filled with lower division students. I clearly remember talking to my disengaged Econ faculty member exactly one time for a total of 5 minutes over the course of a semester. (Because it was an assembly line.)No wonder HE is reeling from public backlash regarding sclerotic norms.

    A recent trend among some politicians and university managers, in the era of fee-paying, has been to urge that students be viewed as ā€˜customersā€™ who have purchased an educational package. Yet changes to the system of university funding, which remain controversial, should not be taken too far in terms of eroding or undermining studentsā€™ attitudes to learning. After all, they are purchasing an educational programmeā€“ not a guaranteed degree. Academically, the student- customers are not ā€˜always rightā€™. They do not always get top marks. They are expected to work hard for their degrees.And, in return, they expect high-quality courses and individually tailored feedback for their efforts.Tutors of doctoral students for their part offer a mixture of personal encouragement and intellectual criticism. They give credit for the technical presentation and historical content of all works submitted (draft chapters, reports and so forth), whether they (the tutors) personally agree with the arguments or otherwise. It is a professional but also a deeply personal process. At heart, the exchanges between tutors and research students constitute a dialogue between two thinking individuals, which generates camaraderie of mutual effort.Money canā€™t buy the experience of historical understanding. Instead, researchers gain expertise by well-sustained effort, supported by apt encouragement and criticism from their tutors and often from fellow students as well. There is a further critical dimension to the research studentsā€™ commitment which also needs frank acknowledgement. They have no guarantee of certainty of outcome. The great expansion of access to academic life since the 1960s has allowed many more people access to advanced researchā€“ and to the sheer joy and passion it can generate. Yet there is an attendant risk of raising expectations which cannot be guaranteed, particularly in terms of jobs at the end of the research journey. In 1969, the number of history doctorates awarded in the UK was no more than 20.Since then, there has been a veritable explosion of activity. In 2015 the comparable number was 545. Successful research historians with a doctorate are therefore entering a world of competition and precariousness.216p 2022University of London Presshttps://lnkd.in/gFku4PrZ

    Michael Wesleyā€™s book Mind of the Nation was something of a pleasant surprise for me, directly addressing the contested place universities have in Australiaā€™s socio-cultural landscape. I wrote my honours thesis about the changing purpose of Australian universities and Iā€™ve since been fascinated by how discourses of purpose can constrain or direct universities activities. Mind of a Nation asks some substantial questions about the role universities play in our society, locating them at tension points on political matters from economic goal-setting to freedom of speech. Are universities too commercialized? Do they adequately provide value? Are they inclusive and adequately funded?Wesley suggests that the Australian public holds three distinct attitudes towards universities: agnosticism, aspiration, and antagonism. Wesley illustrates these paradoxes across themes of money, value, loyalty, integrity, ambition, and privilege, examining the tensions and conflicts within Australian society's expectations of universities.For me one line of exploration stood out from the Privilege chapter: dimensions of institutional diversity are guided by policy settings that come from government. A focus on relative performance metrics like international rankings and rankings of QILT results encourages vertical differentiation. The review of provider categories in 2019 was an opportunity to address this. However, the new categories still do not horizontally differentiate between kinds of universities. If all a studentā€™s study options are categorically the same, then the distinction becomes ā€œwhich one is the best?ā€.A more helpful sector structure would be one where providers are differentiated by mission, scale, focus, format, and other institutional factors other than aggregated scores which place them along a continuum from ā€˜goodā€™ to ā€˜badā€™. Then, the student is guided to make a selection that best aligns with the goals they have for their study.Getting that horizontal rather than vertical differentiation should be a policy goal if weā€™re serious about tertiary education (i.e. including vocational education) supporting a future society that is highly diversified, productive, equitable, and adaptable. The Accord Final Report discusses a revamping of the institutional compacts, which is promising, but does so in the context of governmentā€™s role in centralised planning.Betting the house on one model of provider that is imposed from on high is a risky strategy. Horizontal diversification should be embedded in tertiary education policy as a necessity.MIND OF THE NATION, MICHAEL WESLEY, 2023, LA TROBE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 256 PP
