2) A survey found that nearly a third of students and a fifth of graduates feel university courses do not provide good value for the high tuition fees. Complaints included inconsistent teaching quality and a lack of teaching hours relative to costs.
3) The Student Union proposed taking a stance supporting Palestine in the Israel/Palestine conflict, but commenting argues the SU should remain neutral given the complexity of the issue and diversity of student views.
The College of SEFS at UCC has introduced a new mandatory unpaid teaching module for postgraduate students requiring them to complete 50 hours of unpaid work. This will negatively impact postgraduate students who rely on income from teaching and demonstrating labs as their primary source of income. It is estimated the unpaid work will cost students between €800-€1,100. A postgraduate student interviewed criticized the new measure as unfair and questioned its educational benefits.

This study reassesses the social and economic impact of schools on rural communities in New York State using 2000 and 2010 Census data and school location information. The study categorized rural villages by population size (small = 500 or less, large = 501-2500) and presence of a public school. Regression analyses found that for small villages, the presence of a school was associated with higher household incomes, property values, and proportions of white-collar workers and self-employment in 2000 and 2010. However, for larger villages the impacts were smaller once other socioeconomic factors were controlled for. The presence of schools appears to have a stabilizing influence on smaller rural communities.

reporting results from the TALE research - how arts rich schools and arts broker teachers, with the support of cultural organisations, can support students to be critical appreciative audiences and active cultural producers.
Higher educational institutions (HEIs) are now viewed as anchor institutions in many cities, place-based institutions with the capacity to help local and regional economic growth and engage in community-based revitalization strategies. Colleges and universities in smaller cities, towns and rural areas also play anchor roles in their communities and can be as important a driver of economic and community impact as large HEIs in metropolitan regions. This panel will discuss and compare the role of colleges and universities as anchor institutions in both urban and rural areas. While university-community partnerships are extensive in rural areas through many means, including extension services, less attention has been paid to their role in community and economic partnerships as anchor institutions. University-community partnerships and collaborations have become increasingly important in community and economic development across U.S., in both urban and nonmetropolitan areas.

40 Kingsbury Street Superintendent’s Bulletin
Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481
http://www.wellesley.k12.ma.us/district/bulletins.htm
Bella T. Wong Bulletin #24
Superintendent of Schools March 12, 2010
The Superintendent’s Bulletin is posted weekly on Fridays on our website. It provides timely, relevant
information about meetings, professional development opportunities, curriculum and program development,
grant awards, and school committee news. The bulletin is also the official vehicle for job postings. Please
read the bulletin regularly and use it to inform colleagues of meetings and other school news.
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share that the Advisory Committee voted unanimously on Wednedsay night to support the
FY11 Operating and Cash Capital Budgets voted by School Committee on February 23. The bulk of the
particulars of these budgets are as I presented them to you in January with the modifications of additions and
reductions as outlined to you in the Superintendent's Bulletin #22, dated February 26. Given the strong
favorable vote of the Advisory Committee, it is likely the school budgets will be approved by Town Meeting, which
this year commences on April 5. With Advisory’s vote, uncertainty about the budget for next year has greatly
diminished, but it does still require final approval by Town Meeting.
It has been almost a year and half since the fall 2008 financial meltdown and subsequent substantial
downturn in the economy. Many economists are now reporting that the downturn has bottomed out and that
things will improve moving forward. This big picture analysis of aggregate factors is very good news. But as
things stand currently, for many of us the pain caused by the downturn, whether it directly affects those of us in
schools, residents of the town, or other people we care about, remains very present and personal. We are living
and working in an environment with an unprecedented level of generalized anxiety about one's own personal
financial security, which is further heightened if one has any financial dependents. This anxiety is all too
palpable and stresses everyone. Too many people have been affected, and none of us is immune from the
impact. A clear result is the higher than usual level of emotion that currently permeates any discussion around
financial planning, whether it be about creating a school budget, the state budget on Beacon Hill, or even your
own household budget.
The FY11 Operating Budget as it stands represents a 3.28% increase. This is a very good result given the
context in which it was created. Yes, there were reductions. But there were also some additions. And yes,
there are, regrettably, new student fees. In the end, existing programs remain intact, enrollment adjustments for
increased student population remain in the budget, and students will have a few more course options.
Administrators and School Committee worked extremely hard to support this budget. And the Advisory
Committee worked very hard in its review. Their final unanimous approval is much appreciated. As always,
parents, staff and other community support helped buoy us through this process. I thank you all for whatever
role you played in helping us get to this point.

Educators are increasingly aware that the challenges of our changing world will require students to think and learn
in new ways. In addition to teaching core academic content, our schools need to cultivate key skills: global
awareness, critical thinking, media literacy, collaboration, intercultural communication, technological ability, and
civic engagement. This course will explore the importance of such skills and will build a case for re-envisioning how
we prepare students for an interconnected world. Participants will examine the global economy, the environment,
health, social justice, education, and the globalization of culture. Interested participants should be willing to take
on a
leadership role in their districts and to be advocates for global education across disciplines and grade levels.
