The Corruption and Crime Commission has found a former Curtin University lecturer tried to pressure students into sexual favours in return for higher marks. The CCC report revealed Nasrul Ali asked three students for sex in return for better marks while he was working at Curtin's Business School last year. It says Dr Ali reduced the marks of a fourth female student because he was angry with her when she did not meet him while they were separately visiting Malaysia. The CCC report says he targeted young, vulnerable, full-fee paying overseas students but none of them accepted his advances. Three...

Editor: The Cardinal Newman Insitute, run by Jesuits, is seeking donors and hope for financial support from conservatives who believe they're running a conservative locale.

The "Newman Institute" in Uppsala. Stockholm [kath.net/KAP] This weekend after centuries a Catholic University will open its doors in Sweden. The "Newman Institute" in Uppsala will, according to the school authorities, be the first Catholic educational establishment since the Protestant Revolt...

Gregorian: new Rector takes His Office Editor: The first commenter on the kath.net portal, "palmzweig" complains that none of the Jesuits wear their habits. It's understandable that this should provoke suspicion and distrust. It's amazing that such a superficial thing reveals so much. All in all this is not an encouraging appointment. That this man's specialty is Hannah Arendt is hardly consoling. It may take more time before the people in charge realize that men whose worldly studies may impress secular mentalities, do not serve the Church well. Yesterday on Wednesday the French philosopher and Jesuit Francoi-Xavier Durmortier (61) begins...

While it strives for respectability, the Muslim Students Association (MSA) has a dark side. For example, a 2007 report by the New York Police Department describes MSAs as "part of a growing trend of Salafi-based radicalization." The report lists MSAs as an example of "Salafi Influences and Incubators," stating: "Extremists have used these university-based organizations as forums for the development and recruitment of like-minded individuals - providing a receptive platform for younger, American-born imams, to present a radical message in a way that resonates with the students." But the organization's role in radicalizing other Muslims is just part of the...

Most young Americans entering university this year can't write in cursive, think email is too slow, that Beethoven's a dog and Michelangelo a computer virus... To students who will get their bachelor's degrees in 2014, Czechoslovakia has never existed, Fergie is a pop singer, not a duchess; Clint Eastwood is a sensitive movie director, not Dirty Harry... Few students in the class of 2009 knew how to tie a tie and most thought Iran and Iraq had never been at war with each other.

President Obama’s fund-raising visit to the University of Texas inspired a spirited protest by a small group of critics. Lest the President be excessively troubled by the discord of non-universal acceptance, University Police stepped in and arrested the four demonstrators. The four were charged with “abuse of the freedom of speech privilege.” “University rules require that free speech be restricted to the designated ‘free speech zone,’” explained campus administration spokesman Russell Bowdler. “This is an institution of higher learning. We can’t allow people to say anything they want anywhere that they want, especially when they are disrespecting the President and...

In a coordinated move by state and Federal officials and advocacy non-profits, Maryland may soon hold preeminent status as the most environmentally friendly state in the nation. State officials are currently promoting a plan “that would make environmental education a requirement for all students who graduate from the state’s public high schools.” If approved this fall, Maryland would be the first state to require an “environmental literacy” component for high school graduation, said Donald A Baugh, vice president for education at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The environmental literacy proposal grew out of a task force called the Maryland Partnership for...

WITH the academic year about to begin, colleges and universities, as well as students and their parents, are facing an unprecedented financial crisis. What we’ve seen with California’s distinguished state university system — huge cutbacks in spending and a 32 percent rise in tuition — is likely to become the norm at public and private colleges. Government support is being slashed, endowments and charitable giving are down, debts are piling up, expenses are rising and some schools are selling their product for two-thirds of what it costs to produce it. You don’t need an M.B.A. to know this situation is...
