„Following up on my post about academic freedom a couple of days ago, Michael Bérubé argues that the Nona Gerard case at PSU and the suspensions at USM are quite different, because there was a formal review process at PSU whereas the USM President just acted like an autocrat. I agree with Michael that the USM case seems wholly indefensible on its face, so maybe it shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the Gerard case, which just looks highly suspicious. As I said before, there just isn’t enough information available to make a judgment.“http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/ 001495.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„I have sought out the opinion and the views of the faculty, and the academic leadership of this institution.

„We present data from undergraduate students (N = 106), graduate students (N = 72), and psychology faculty (N = 48) showing insensitivity to the need for stimulus sampling except when problem is made rather obvious. Finally, we note some of the statistical implications of stimulus sampling with particular concern for power, effect size estimates, and data analysis strategies. “http://www.psychology.iastate.edu/faculty/gwells/ stimsamp98manuscript.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„The cost of the classroom itself for a single course is quite small: whereas the cost of the instructor may be $6,000 or more, the cost of the classroom, with utilities, maintenance, and teaching materials, is typically under $100. For an online course, if one ignores the cost of technical training, one need only provide the instructor with a suitable web-connected computer and access to a server--items which faculty typically will have in any event. On the face of it, then, the institution, by not having to provide a classroom, can save a small amount for each section offered.“http://cobe.boisestate.edu/msr/chatarticle.htm - Cached - Similar Pages

„for example, when limits are placed on admissions to the hospitals, to improve the workloads of interns, the faculty have to do the extra work. then you get grumbling among the faculty, and perhaps some that would drop out of the teaching program. or if salaries are increased, less residents would be able to be hired, since the funding comes from fixed medicare subsidies to teaching hospitals, and the residents would end up with more work.“http://www.enochchoi.com/thoughts/archives/ 2003_08.html - Cached - Similar Pages
