eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In spring 2011, public higher education is under attack as never before. Public institutions have been targeted for drastic cuts in the past, but now the attacks are aimed at the very core of the educational enterprise and at the basic rights of college faculty and staff.

By undertaking a series of publications on diversity issues, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is saying that… Continue Reading →
