A Call to Action Inside Higher Ed Share
They gathered to commiserate and commit to giving adjunct faculty a stronger voice. In what was part bonding session, part road map for the future, members of the New Faculty Majority, a group representing professors off the tenure track, met for its first national summit last Saturday. "Contingent" employment is problematic and exploitative, the 150 participants or so agreed.

I could design a simple step-through process to take them through the four factors online. Would this be a helpful approach? More Behind the Digital Curtain Inside Higher Ed Share

Opposition to the Research Works Act continues to spread. In a statement posted on its website, the Modern Language Association said it opposes the bill, HR 3699, which would prevent federal agencies from requiring researchers to make the published results of federally supported research available to the public without publishers' consent. That would undo public-access mandates such as the National Institute of Health's, under which federal-grant recipients must deposit copies of their papers in the PubMed Central repository within a year of publication.

With the unemployment rate at 12.7 percent in Long Beach, California, access to higher education is more vital than ever, according to local economists and education experts who emphasize that the chance of attaining a well-paid career significantly increases with educational background.

More Changing Science of Movie-ology New York Times Share
The celebrated film critic J. Hoberman had a reach that went beyond the Village Voice, which, already weakened (by the internet, September 11, its owners) continued to lose its mojo, identity, and relevance after it was bought by the New Times newspaper chain in 2005.

Now without portfolio, Hoberman plans to keep writing and teaching. More
