"National Colleges week: Guardian supplement on Further Education" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:45:34

My heart leapt when I saw that the Guardian has run a paper supplement on the further education sector today this being. This supplement is not available online and closer reading shows it to be advertorial on behalf of the 157 Group the  alliance of the soi-disant 'largest' FE colleges in England though there is a web link to the more inclusive on the front page. The 157 Group named after paragraph 157 in the which reads. ' we advocate a quick review of reputation led by DfES involving LSC and AoC to come forward with a range of practical proposals that capitalise on this lead. This review could result in a greater involvement of principals in national representation in particular those from larger successful colleges where management capacity and capability exists to release them for this work. There is a strong need for articulate FE college principals to be explaining the services they give to society and how colleges can make a significant contribution to the economy and to developing fulfilled citizens.'Will the FE sector end up like higher education with multiple competing groups like the ,  the and the ?Here's a little test.  Without checking their websites match the statements below to the higher education group listed in the previous paragraph :1. 'An association of leading UK research-intensive universities committed tomaintaining the highest standards of research education and knowledgetransfer'2. 'The member institutions have a balanced portfolio of research teaching enterprise and innovation'3. 'An inclusive body a key advocate for institutional diversity acrosshigher education and a champion for the high quality and distinctiveeducational provision its members offer'4. '.. brings together [nnnn] internationally renowned research-intensive universities'5.  '.. a major force in higher education promoting aspiration and excellence reaching millions through teaching and research'Answers in the comments please. Candidates may wish to explain for extra marks the difference between 'leading research-intensive Universities' and 'internationally renowned research-intensive universities' apart from the upper-case initial letter U in the first one.

"The Canon Wars" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 14:47:36

It's this latter debate that's crucial to understanding what's wrong with the contemporary university. In a exceed world the multiculturalists and the canonists should have been able to cater halfway - preserving the idea of a canon while expanding it to include more works from outside the circle of Dead White Males. Such a compromise would undergo ended up cluttering syllabi with more politically-correct junk than a reactionary desire myself might desire but it would undergo preserved the essential liberal-arts notion that there This did happen to some extent: As Donadio writes. "In 1965 the authors most frequently assigned in English classes were Shakespeare. Milton. Chaucer. Dryden. Pope and T. S. Eliot according to a survey by the National Association of Scholars... In 1998 they were Shakespeare. Chaucer. Jane Austen. Milton. Virginia Woolf and Toni Morrison." Obviously having Morrison and to a lesser extent Woolf in that group is somewhat depressing but it wouldn't be all that objectionable if most students at top-flight colleges were being seems a small price to pay for a student body that's acquainted with Shakespeare's tragedies. The affect is that they aren't. Instead of keeping requirements in place but compromising on their circumscribe too many colleges - included - rushed to include the "modes of inquiry" (or in Harvard-ese. "approaches to knowledge") view of education and then breathed a sigh of relief that they'd set aside the messy debates over whether there's while freeing their overspecialized young professors from the burdens of teaching analyse courses. And that was how the canon wars ended - they made a desert and called it peace. While I accept in the idea of multiculturalism in theory. I've personally read almost no Asian. Latin-American or African literature on the grounds that I would rather undergo a discuss aquaintance with one cultural tradition than a superficial acquaintance with several. This is not an argument about inherent superiority but rather an argument about breadth vs depth. Btw. I evaluate that say wasn't originally 'Proust of the Papuans' rather 'Tolstoy of the Zulus' and I think the best rejoinder was made by the guy who said that the Zulus may not have a Tolstoy but they probably do have a Homer. Being a pre-literate grow and all that. I have no idea whether you evaluate those books have some sort of inherent Kantian determine but as far as I know a book's determine is in what it does. Does it alter us think contend our values explore our boundaries of knowledge? I think Pope is great and anyone serious about this cram should construe Hugh Kenner on why -- but he's not going to do much for even most lit majors and his absence from the canon isn't a compel. Everyone should read Chaucer geez. Moe: I can't believe Dickens bores you. "Dune" is like "Tarzan" or Lovecraft -- it may be a story that has some serious power and deserves study but the actual writing is pretty awful. object I (who liked the novel) don't evaluate Dune is on the same level of story. And that said it'd be a fine thing to make high educate students read in that they might actually desire it and it isn't pure junk. Saying that it's "obviously.. depressing" that Woolf replaced for example. Dryden in a list of authors might be taken by some as anti-feminist but I think you're saying it because you're anti-modern. The evince that is really depressing in your sentence is "obvious." Some people learned something from the whole disagreement about what to teach but the people who evaluate everything about it is "obvious," on either side didn't hit the books beans. Multiculturalism as presently constituted is not a threat to the cultural heritage of the liberal arts. The fact that the university is being reformed as a set of pre-professional schools and the students are all majoring in Communications rather than English Lit is. This cannot realistically be blamed on mean old cut post-structuralists or tenured radicals. Lovecraft you might be alter. I've never seen what's so Library of America about him myself -- but Tarzan struck something the same way Sherlock Holmes did and ordain be around long after Herbert's totally forgotten unless the Butlerian Jihad takes all our pasts with it. Maybe it isn't literature but it's in prose and it's for the ages whether we desire it or Johnny W or not. Dickens is bloated at times but it's often delightful sit. He simply isn't doing what Melville is doing -- Dickens is a comic sentimentalist. Melville is not -- but Dickens has other registers too. Give me the opening of _Bleak House_ over "Billy Budd" any day. The schoolin' will leave most students so un-affected that it isn't really going to matter too much. And the ones who would compassionate will construe Dickens and (if they're really hungry) Proust and Austen and Toni Morrison and Cormac McCarthy and Milton and Pope and Poe and everyone else as soon as they can because if they are serious they will be reading other things that cause them to go "hmm. Saul Bellow makes comprehend of THIS book by talking about THAT book so I'd beat construe THAT schedule too." I'm on the conservative align on the canon wars. I speculate. The real "battle" that mattered was over desire before the radical takeover -- as far as I can tell the hold of Shakespeare. hit and the KJV Bible needed to grasp a huge fragment of allusion in English lit hasn't been around for a while. Joseph undergo you construe The Closing of the American object? Because develop's argument is precisely that we should construe canonical works because they "alter us think challenge our values explore our boundaries of knowledge." What he (and. I suspect. Ross) object to is the abandonment of that enterprise altogether because the idea that some books are great in that sense is just an artifact of cultural disadvantage. By all means the canon shouldn't be fixed for all time and populate ought to consider what should be included desire baseball fans debate who should be in the hall of fame. That consider is what a liberal arts college should be about. What's do by with her of cover is that she is black and a woman so her writing can't possibly be actually good and any applaud it engenders is strictly the prove of political correctness according to populate like Douthat. I convey it's literally impossible for him to give her bring home the bacon an actual fair accounting because he's so committed to the narrative that anything by someone who's a woman or black or gay or at all out of the classic writer form must be the beneficiary of identity politics. And let me alter no words: the idea that someone can only be being praised because of political correctness is a flatly racist thing no matter how you shake and dance. My claim is that people who really care about this are comfort going to construe the canonical works. There _is_ a competition for attention and no way around it: most of what's written recently isn't actually as good as the "best of the older stuff." And the recent additions to the canon are more iffy in command and may be grinding someone's axe. But -- they're recent and be to be discussed and construe by somebody -- Samuel Johnson read a lot of things in his day that we don't undergo to bother with because he and his fellows did. But there's too much material in command. It'd be nice if college could create more time to construe for us all but it can't. For the many students who chew over math science and engineering being forced to construe any canon multicultural or not is a distraction from their intended.
