A typology of admission systems across Europe and their impact on the equity ...Dominic Orr
Admission systems to higher education are the key point for determining which students go into which type of higher education institution. Based on how admission systems are designed, they will allow access to a smaller or larger number of students, but they will also shape participation by social background. We present our typology of admission systems and how they work. Based on a larger study for the EU.

Identity, Influence & Impactof Vietnam Universitieson the World’s Stage
Reform of the higher education system by 2020 - Vietnam expects its higher education system to be advanced by modern standards and highly competitive in international terms:
administration,
finance,
improve quality,
autonomy and accountability
The emerging education market in Vietnam is attracting interest from foreign higher education institutions and investors.
Increasing disposable income, rapid urbanization, and rising living standards are driving local demand for advanced education.
At the same time, a shortage of quality local universities, and a substantial increase in the number of school age children make the sector ripe for investment.
The Vietnamese government has acknowledged shortcomings in the current education system and recently changed its tone on foreign participation in local education.
Efforts are afoot to pave the way for foreign investment, evidenced most recently by the introduction of concrete proposals to soften existing restrictions on foreign investment into the sector.
This presentations from EUA Council on Doctoral Education head, Alexander Hasgall, summarises the main findings from the EUA survey on "Doctoral education in Europe today: approaches and institutional structures"
Offering findings gathered from more than 300 institutions across Europe, it provides an overview of the deep transformation that has taken place in doctoral education over the past ten years.

Education research is growing, but has not enough impact to tackle the systemic risks of education systems (quality, productivity, equity, innovation). Why? Do we work with outdated theories? And can the science of learning help to do better? Keynote at ECER2019.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Concentration and diversification in the higher education landscape
1. Concentration and Diversification in the Higher Education Landscape Prof. Dr. Dirk Van Damme Head of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation – OECD/EDU
2. Outline Contexts Four main competing rationales affecting the structure of the landscape Main thesis: we need to tune better the different rationales in order to enhance the capacity of the system to deliver excellence A few critical success factors Some questions 2
3. Contexts Main trends: Continued expansion of higher education systems in access and participation More heterogeneous student population Institutional diversification More challenging and insecure funding Increased competition for resources and output, including for academics on a competitive market In an increasingly global context of networking, mobility and collaboration 3
4. Contexts Main policy directions: Policy frameworks (theoretically) exchanging more institutional autonomy for accountability Continued (or even increased) steering to integrate institutional objectives with national priorities Integration (or subordination) of research in national and European innovation systems From ensuring quality to promoting excellence European convergence: EHEA and ERA Positioning national systems in global arena 4
5. Contexts Future trends and policies to be expected: Continued increasing participation; growth will come from more diverse and more demanding students Changing skill demands, including innovative skills and interdisciplinary skills for new professions More challenging situation at input side: resources, staff Increased social and political demand for effectiveness, productivity in research and teaching, innovation More competition, not only between institutions and countries, but also with new types of institutions outside the HE sector 5
6. Problem No lack of good ideas and policy objectives But lack of system capacity to implement and to innovate What explains this resistance to change? Possible: lack of tuning the different rationales, system dynamics and motivations present in the higher education and research system Main obstacle: complacency with status quo 6
7. Rationales affecting landscape Public policy rationale: concentration and specialisation Strong drive in many countries and EC to rationalise provision and research capacity in order to avoid fragmentation and overlap Often opposed by institutions being interested in expansion and competition Main policy benefit: efficiency and excellence Main policy deficit: narrow fascination with excellence, life-cycle of top research and top researchers difficult to predict 7
8. Rationales affecting landscape Institutional rationale: autonomy, expansion, coherence and competition Confronted with increasingly international competition, institutions tend to maximise their sphere of activity Even in less market oriented systems, institutional autonomy has increased mission drift Main policy benefit: entrepreneurial universities Main policy deficit: proliferation of profitable but not necessarily most innovative activities, risk-avoidance 8
9. Rationales affecting landscape Market rationale: reputation race and competition Significance of market forces has increased, even in public systems, because of institutional autonomy, the reputation race provoked by international rankings and excellence initiatives Main policy benefit: competition may perhaps increase system capacity to deliver excellence Main policy deficit: self-regulatory capacity of the system is limited; reputation leads to ‘the winner takes all’; competition at odds with cooperation; competition needs transparency and regulation 9
10. Rationales affecting landscape Research rationale: flexible networks organised around primacy of research needs and ideas Research networks escaping institutional boundaries and national policy frameworks Public policy, institutional and even market rationales do not fit well with what drives researchers and research communities Main policy benefit: sufficient space for researchers drives excellence and innovation Main policy deficit: limited overall efficiency, lot of waste, limits of peer review modes of quality 10
12. Critical success factors Sufficient resources: how to guarantee expenditure objectives in times of public spending deficit Modernising university governance, leadership and management: how to move away from parochialism, how to improve institutional capacity for strategic management Inter- and trans-disciplinarity: how to transcend or even break the conservative powers of disciplines Improved system transparency: a well-tuned system needs far better transparency mechanisms 12
13. Questions for discussion What will be the impact of the crisis on the global competition for talent and excellence? Is the European ‘plateau’-model in university performance more sustainable than the US stratified model? Is the main challenge for Europe to increase quality at the top or to improve the sub-top? How to lower tolerance for mediocrity protecting forces in higher education and research? 13
