Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The lack of academic integrity combined with the prevalence of fraud and other forms of unethical behavior are problems that higher education faces in both developing and developed countries, at mass and elite universities, and at public and private institutions. While academic misconduct is not new, massification, internationalization, privatization, digitalization, and commercialization have placed ethical challenges higher on the agenda for many universities. Corruption in academia is particularly unfortunate, not only because the high social regard that universities have traditionally enjoyed, but also because students-young people in critical formative years-spend a significant amount of time in universities. How they experience corruption while enrolled might influence their later personal and professional behavior, the future of their country, and much more. Further, the corruption of the research enterprise is especially serious for the future of science. The contributors to Corruption in Higher Education: Global Challenges and Responses bring a range of perspectives to this critical topic"--
Download or read book Trouble in the University written by Mildred A. Schwartz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Trouble in the University, Mildred A. Schwartz analyzes how changes in U.S. higher education affecting the health care professions and in the relations between universities and the state have created conditions that can give rise to corruption. Explanations for how the connections between changing conditions and organizational structures can lead to illegal and unethical behavior are uncovered through the study of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Because that University's experiences were not unique, they can be used to demonstrate how higher education has become vulnerable to corruption. Identification of the structural and cultural sources of corruption also suggests possible ways it could be avoided.
Download or read book Trapped in a Corrupt School District written by Angelo Morelli, PhD and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and mostly educated in Italy, at a young age I immigrated to Quebec, Canada, where I taught Latin to French speaking high school students. Then, I earned a Ph.D. degree in French and Latin at the University of Ontario. My dream came true when in 1967 I entered the USA as French instructor at a college in central Kansas and later at the University of Tennessee. Alas, due to the declining enrollment in the foreign languages at the University, three years later I lost my untenured job. Next, being just a part-time French instructor in a catholic college, I took a full-time teaching job in the public school district of Fairview, a medium-sized town in the Appalachian Plateau. I taught French and Latin to high school freshmen. There I was appreciated by everybody and three years later I was granted tenure. With the advent of a new school superintendent, Tom Jones, in 1980 the tide suddenly turned. He advocated that the school district did not need a teacher with a Ph.D. degree and, most of all, that as a "European" I was unqualified to teach in his American schools. He decided that I had to go. Unable to find a legitimate reason to get rid of me, he started building a termination case for "gross inefficiency". For that purpose, Jones replaced my honest principal with Frank Grossman, an awkward and loyal bootlicker who had no knowledge of French and Latin. For four years Grossman made my life extremely miserable. He sat in my classroom almost fifty times and, if so to speak I taught that planet Earth is round, he documented that I said it is square. Yet, nothing could justify my dismissal. In spring 1982, Jones indefinitely laid off 67 untenured teachers for alleged financial problems. I was the only tenured teacher among them. Later, the school board ordered to rehire all 67 teachers, because the lay-off was unjustified. Yet, Jones refused to rehire me. Finally, he made me ransom my tenured job by making me drop a couple of pending grievances. Exasperated by his repeated failures to get rid of me, Jones announced in the local news that I was "the poorest teacher in the school district" and that he had no choice but to let me go. To achieve his resolve, he had Grossman triple the efforts to fabricate as much negative documentation as possible. Grossman even used a few teachers, students, parents, and substitute teachers to support his efforts. To further mortify and disgrace me, he had me sit in other teachers' classroom to learn how to teach French and Latin in America. He ordered me to take additional college classes to qualify to teach those languages at the first year level. Two school administrators and three outsiders were hired to sit in my classes and prepare negative reports. None of them knew French and Latin. I became a laughing stock in the entire school district. The maltreatment became so callous that my doctor placed me on sick leave for 30 days, because of an "acute anxiety syndrome". After four years of relentless and undignified torment, in March 1984, Supt. Jones had his rubber stamp school board fire me for alleged "inability" to teach French and Latin even at the first year level. Even my foreign "accent" and my alleged "European way of teaching" were given as termination grounds. Yes, my sick leave was also used to claim that I was "physically unable to teach". Since previously I had been a successful teacher in catholic schools, Jones had the insolence to advise that I should seek employment in catholic schools, as if those were inferior. This book describes the incredible, despicable, and appalling persecution, mistreatment, and humiliation I endured in that school district run by a corrupt superintendent and his accomplices. It is a shocking case of ignorance, bigotry and malice. ___________________________________________________________ Notice: Although the events described in this book took place decades ago, they are still etched in my memory. I decided to recount them in this book as a personal healing and to warn teachers that such things can truly happen.

Download or read book University Inc written by Jennifer Washburn and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our federal and state tax dollars are going to fund higher education. If corporations kick in a little more, should they be able to dictate the research or own the discoveries? During the past two decades, commercial forces have quietly transformed virtually every aspect of academic life. Corporate funding of universities is growing and the money comes with strings attached. In return for this funding, universities and professors are acting more and more like for-profit patent factories: university funds are shifting from the humanities and the less profitable science departments into research labs, and the skill of teaching is valued less and less. Slowly but surely, universities are abandoning their traditional role as disinterested sources of education, alternative perspectives, and wisdom. This growing influence of corporations over universities affects more than just today's college students (and their parents); it compromises the future of all those whose careers depend on a university education, and all those who will be employed, governed, or taught by the products of American universities.

Download or read book Buying your Way into Heaven written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is commonly thought to be a haven for the young. No matter how unstable the polity, no matter how dismal the prospects for the economy, education investments are often treated as sacrosanct. This is one reason for the popularity of education as part of foreign aid. Who could object to providing more opportunity for young people to study? Recently however, it has been discovered that education systems can be as corrupt as other parts of government and the economy; and that values of fairness and impartiality, once thought to be universal characteristics of education systems, can be supplanted by the interests of specific individuals, families and ethnic groups. Education corruption has now been found in all regions of the world, but it manifests itself in different ways. How do these differ from one region to another? What should be done to minimize education corruption? And what should be done to protect universities and employers in areas situated where there is little corruption from the products of those parts of the world where education corruption is the norm. This book will explain the meaning of education corruption and how it works; it will provide illustrations from Asia, Africa, Southeastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and it will propose actions and policies on the part of regional and international agencies to counter-act what is now likely to become a new and unexpected global crisis.

Download or read book School Corruption written by Armand Fusco and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School Corruption: Betrayal of Children and the Public Trust is an exposé of corruption in public schools and related agencies. It shatters the complacency and silence of the pervasive corruption found in school districts throughout the Nation. Dr. Armand A. Fusco provides a detailed look at the rationale for the three levels of corrupt acts: cheating and deceit, waste and mismanagement, and fraud and stealing. Find out how and where shameful and deplorable corrupt acts have been committed in each state and school district as Fusco delves into some tough questions: Why does corruption and 'political correctness" lead to poor student achievement, disgraceful school outcomes, and failing schools? How does inept school governance allow corruption to flourish with such ease? What is the most important question that is never asked of an applicant for superintendent of schools? The harsh reality is that corruption has become a natural part of the educational landscape, but it's hidden from view by walls of denial and self-protection. Only by accepting the challenge of a new beginning can trust be restored so that the devastating impact of corrupt acts on the education of children, and the violation of the public trust, will become a thing of the past.
Download or read book Global Corruption Report Education written by Transparency International and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption and poor governance are acknowledged as major impediments to realizing the right to education and to reaching the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015. Corruption not only distorts access to education, but affects the quality of education and the reliability of research findings. From corruption in the procurement of school resources and nepotism in the hiring of teachers, to the buying and selling of academic titles and the skewing of research results, major corruption risks can be identified at every level of the education and research systems. Conversely, education serves as a means to strengthen personal integrity and is a critical tool to address corruption effectively. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) is Transparency International’s flagship publication, bringing the expertise of the anti-corruption movement to bear on a specific corruption issue or sector. The Global Corruption Report on education consists of more than 70 articles commissioned from experts in the fields of corruption and education, from universities, think-tanks, business, civil society and international organisations. The Global Corruption Report on education and academic research will provide essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in the sector and highlight the significant work that has already been done in the field to improve governance and educational outcomes. This will be an opportunity to pull together cutting edge knowledge on lessons learnt, innovative tools and solutions that exist in order to fight corruption in the education sector.
