When left social progressives knew the Eisenhower Act of 1958 handed control of US Federal agencies to the foreign sovereignty of MALTA with global corporations like MITRE AND RAND CORPORATION we knew that was where to look for US human resources hiring----and that employment would be tied to which college graduates were hired. This was in 1970-80s-----
We discussed how our US IVY LEAGUE university status went from those original northeastern colleges of PRINCETON, COLUMBIA. YALE, HARVARD to an expansion of that term IVY LEAGUE to more and more US universities. We knew our US government from local, state, and Federal levels had always been filled with US 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens and NOT IVY LEAGUE grads because government pay was middle-class while IVY LEAGUE grads have always gone for global banking corporate salaries---always higher. What we saw when MALTA took control of our US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT hiring was that shift away from hiring from our US public universities towards that of IVY LEAGUE CORPORATE UNIVERSITIES. It is no coincidence that a national news media began RANKING COLLEGES at that same time----US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT.
This college ranking had nothing to do with quality of education---it was tied to global banking 1% hiring graduates from those colleges. We see below a good discussion of these COLLEGE RANKINGS started in REAGAN era 1983------the goal was to shift hiring from our US public university grads to those private and newly deemed IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES.
Again, these colleges were not becoming stronger in education quality-----they were being made global corporate R and D departments ----PRODUCT PATENTING MILLS----that is the opposite of strong US public higher education.
1983---REAGAN ERA------US COLLEGE RANKINGS changed from providing strong public higher education to being corporate product patenting mills.
How did the US News & World Report college rankings come to dominate the way people evaluate colleges?
Ty Doyle, a lawyer with an opinion on everything
Answered Apr 9 2014 ·
Two things: being there first and the illusion of certainty. US News began publishing ratings in 1983, roughly 15 years before Baby Boomers' children started going to college in big numbers. Thus, even before getting into selective colleges became a competitive sport, US News was there and making a name for itself. Other rankings existed, but they tended to rank based on (sensible) categories like "best schools for people who like _____". US News purports to simply tell people which schools are best, period, and by getting there before anyone else, it became an authority, for better or worse.
This leads to the second reason. US News is popular for the same reason that Pitchfork's music reviews are popular: false detail. Most people will agree, for example, that the latest album from Arcade Fire is better than the last album from Ashlee Simpson, but how and why this is true is complicated and difficult to explain. Pitchfork, however, purports to tell you, down to a decimal place, which albums are good or bad. There is no real explanation as to why one album is 8.3 and another is 7.9, but that's the way it is. Right or wrong, the certainty of the reviews is both helpful and controversial; either way, it makes the site popular.
With colleges, most people similarly agree that Harvard is better than the University of New Mexico, but how much better, and why? And is Harvard better than Stanford? Than MIT? Again, the answers to these questions are complicated, and there's no "right" answer. US News is less of a black box than Pitchfork, but it still takes a formula that it creates--containing a number of questionable factors--runs data, and then purports to tell readers which schools are the "best," based on a 100-point scale. Is there really a difference between a 99.8 school and a 99.2? Is there even a material difference between a 99.8 school and an 85.0 school? Again, that's debatable. But for people who are stressed out about college and cannot possibly research dozens of schools with the necessary level of detail, the data is educational ("I didn't know X school was that high/low"), aids in decision-making ("School X is 3 spots better than School Y, so I'm going there"), and is controversial ("How can my rival be 7 spots higher than my alma mater?"). US News doesn't care whether you regard their rankings as gospel or snake oil, all they care about is that you pay for them. And given that data (and often the US News formula) change from year to year, there will always be a reason for those who care about college rankings to read.
_____________________________________________
If US citizens followed from 1983 these US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT we would see which colleges were being made LOSERS AND WINNERS by global banking 1%. Our US public universities had never worked for global banking. They were state universities or private colleges providing graduates to work in our local communities as business and government leaders. This is when we went from government by the 99% WE THE PEOPLE----to government by global banking 5% players often graduates from what these college rankings deemed our BEST US COLLEGES.
'U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2016 Best Colleges cover
In 1983, U.S. News & World Report published its first "America's Best Colleges" report. The rankings have been compiled and published annually since 1985 and are the most widely quoted of their kind in the United States. These rankings are based upon data that U.S. News & World Report collects from each educational institution from an annual survey sent to each school. The rankings are also based upon opinion surveys of university faculties and administrators who do not belong to the schools'.
It was REAGAN-era when what was called IVY LEAGUE expanded to what we see in these rankings. These were not OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% IVY LEAGUES----these were colleges and universities tied to creating those 5% ROBBER BARON players. It was no coincidence again that those colleges and universities ranked highest were saturated with GREEK CULTURE. We see some of our US public universities being made those new IVY LEAGUES------this was what REAGAN/CLINTON neo-liberalism used to kill strong public K-university creating the societal FAD of GREEKS in those colleges once graduating our 99% of WE THE PEOPLE to be community and small/regional business leaders.
Those colleges ranked highest were not necessarily the BEST in public education---they were simply tapped global banking 1% as a pipeline in expanding EMPIRE of Foreign Economic Zones globally. This was the beginning of the US AND THEM----those 5% freemason/Greek players vs our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE.
So, now these college rankings were being used as the reason to send FEDERAL FUNDING for R and D away from our US state universities where it had gone in modern history ----to those ranked highest by global banking 1%. This policy was what WEAKENED our US state and local colleges and universities ----and made those private and IVY LEAGUE universities FAT CATS.
This was when the US went from MERITOCRACY-------to CRONY NEPOTISM-----those 5% players not being the most qualified----but connected to OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% KINGS AND QUEENS.
This is what created the ME GENERATION of those 5% to the 1% global banking players.

_____________________________________
Our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE have been duped with these Federal unemployment figures for these few decades. As REAGAN/CLINTON era shifted employment to OLD WORLD MALTA as human resources-----those US citizens not tied to US colleges ranked by US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT were of course those losing their jobs earliest. Even today, those US college grads left unemployed after graduating are those not tied to expanded IVY LEAGUE private/corporate colleges. This is how global banking 1% cleared our Federal, state, and local government agencies of 99% WE THE PEOPLE ----to those of 5% global banking players so quickly-----in only a few decades we had those ROBBER BARON 5% global banking pols and players.
Since the 1980s REAGAN era these Federal unemployment stats have been SKEWED------these stats used to be tied to our Federal unemployment checks-----when our US economy was FREE MARKET, domestic, and thriving------any US citizen losing a job found one within a few months----before unemployment checks ended. So, unemployment in US did parallel these FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES. In 1980s -1990s REAGAN/CLINTON with soaring US employment removing 99% WE THE PEOPLE from jobs ----those Federal unemployment figures started to be PROPAGANDA hiding the real US employment status.
THIS IS WHEN FULL EMPLOYMENT OF 4% BECAME FAKE. Here we see the WORLD BANK UNITED NATIONS telling us we have full employment when US 99% WE THE PEOPLE are long-term unemployed to over 50% MOVING FORWARD to 80%. We can follow college graduation to those US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT rankings---to see from where what are 20% falling to 5% of US citizens employed attended university.
Keep in mind all these world nations tied to being FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES are receiving these same SKEWED employment data-----hiring globally being tied to ever-smaller grouping of global IVY LEAGUE private corporate universities----

These EXPANDED US IVY leagues during ROBBER BARON few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA corrupted what were strong academic IVY LEAGUES taken to being PRODUCT MILL PATENTING corporate R and D departments. So, we are losing not only our US strong public state and local universities---but what were US IVY LEAGUE university academies of which the US was able to be proud. When we shout those 5% to the 1% players are going under the bus----so too will these EXPANDED US IVY LEAGUES ranked high in US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT disappear. What is that HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE creating WINNERS of private and IVY LEAGUE colleges will soon BURST.
What will be left if we continue to allow this BUBBLE to kill all our US public state and local colleges and private arts and humanities? The US is MOVING FORWARD to having access to only ONLINE GLOBAL IVY LEAGUES accessed by global 1%.
NO HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOOLS FOR YOU----PUBLIC OR PRIVATE!
This is how low US public colleges are going---volunteer part-time adjuncts.
I KNOW! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PHYSICS AMATEUR----I WILL BECOME A VOLUNTEER ADJUNCT FOR JOHNS HOPKINS PHYSICS DEPARTMENT!
We see US public universities and private colleges on their way OUT----being resourced to lower and lower qualifications.
Want to Be a 'Volunteer Adjunct'?
Southern Illinois U. Is Hiring
By Nell Gluckman April 24, 2018
The pitch wasn’t exactly straightforward, but to some faculty members at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, the meaning was clear enough: Their university was trying to hire unpaid adjuncts.
In an email to department chairs, Michael R. Molino, associate dean for research, budget, and personnel, asked for help in finding alumni with terminal degrees who would apply “to join the SIU Graduate Faculty in a zero-time (adjunct) status.“
Alumni who accepted the three-year positions might serve on graduate students' thesis committees, teach graduate or undergraduate lectures, or collaborate on research projects, according to Molino’s email. The program was created by the Alumni Association, it said.
The “zero-time” positions might be valuable opportunities, it continued. “Participating alumni can benefit from intellectual interactions with faculty in their respective units, as well as through collegial networking opportunities with other alumni adjuncts who will come together regularly.”
Someone forwarded the email to Karen Kelsky, a career consultant for academics who wrote the book The Professor Is In. (Kelsky writes an advice column for The Chronicle.) She posted it to her Facebook page on Monday, along with a plea to her followers to contact Molino to express their disapproval.
The post drew a swift and loud response from academics who were enraged by what they saw as the latest attempt by a university to devalue their work. By Tuesday evening, more than 800 people had shared it. On Twitter it drew an even bigger reaction.
Academia is reverting from a profession to a pastime for the idle rich.
Be aware of and mad about this stuff. https://t.co/ZymkagvbOG
— Ed Burmila (@gin_and_tacos) April 24, 2018
Molina referred a request for comment to Carbondale's chief marketing and communications officer, Rae Goldsmith, who responded with a statement calling the plan to hire alumni a “proposed pilot project” meant “to connect qualified alumni with our students as mentors to enhance — not replace — the work of our faculty.”
The statement referred to participants in the program as “volunteer adjuncts.”
I’ve been watching this “volunteer” faculty position develop — and continue to be appalled at the devaluing of faculty positions. Sitting on a thesis committee can be A LOT OF WORK! https://t.co/ApjibBo5Rm
— Katherine D. Harris (@triproftri) April 24, 2018The statement, which Goldsmith attributed to Meera Komarraju, interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, also said that alumni who participate would not teach full courses. Instead, it said, they “might deliver an individual lecture or lead a seminar discussion based on their expertise.”
The program, it said, would help alumni who “are eager to give back to their university” an opportunity to serve as role models and professional contacts for graduate students.
David Johnson, an associate professor of classics and president of the university’s Faculty Association, was dubious. It’s common for professors at other institutions to work with Southern Illinois faculty members by speaking in a class or serving on a dissertation committee, he said. But formalizing that relationship in this way seemed odd to him.
“It looks like an attempt to outsource work to unpaid labor,” Johnson said. “That’s my first impression.”
Like its public-university peers in the state, Southern Illinois is not exactly flush with cash. A protracted political showdown left the state without a budget for about two years, and in 2016 the university's president told The Chronicle that his system had left vacant nearly 200 positions, many of them on the faculty.
Johnson acknowledged the university’s financial challenges. But “this effort to entice alumni to do work that SIUC faculty should be be doing instead is problematic,” he said.
Some departments have requirements for how many Southern Illinois faculty members have to serve on dissertation committees, Johnson said. The new program, he added, might be an attempt to get more people designated as faculty members at the university as a way get around those rules.
Johnson said faculty representatives would meet with administrators this week. The meeting was scheduled before the volunteer-adjunct program was announced, but Johnson said he now expected the new project to be a topic of discussion.

We have discussed this public education policy of MOOCs being installed as fast as global banking 1% can---tied with ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE ONE HIGHER EDUCATION CORPORATION for the global 1% and ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE COMMONER CORE for all 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE and our global 99% of citizens.
What was an US IVY LEAGUE for which to be proud have these few decades of ROBBER BARON frauds been made top gun in producing 5% global banking players and made a PRODUCT MILL PATENTING CORPORATION ----global hedge fund IVY LEAGUE corporations.
NO EXCEPTIONALISM COMING FROM OUR US IVY LEAGUES!
While 99% US WE THE PEOPLE are shouting and fighting the attack on our US public K-university ----those US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT COLLEGE RANKING winners-----are being taken to being great big LOSERS.
Was there a HARVARD OR YALE in MEDIEVAL TIMES? NOPE. Well, then if MOVING FORWARD ends US sovereignty taking us to colonial status so to go what was our US IVY LEAGUE universities and private colleges. This is ONE WORLD FOR ONLY THE GLOBAL 1% after all.
So, all those US IVY LEAGUES below will soon disappear into one global higher education corporation -----today we see all our 5% to the 1% global banking players filling these teaching spots----their talent? Lying, cheating, and stealing. It looks like the revolving door of WALL STREET.
We know when our US IVY LEAGUE universities are filled with people whose only talent is LYING, CHEATING, AND STEALING----our US strong public university system built to hold power accountable and provide REAL INFORMATION to 99% WE THE PEOPLE---is worthless to any 99% global citizen. It's like hiring the KEYSTONE COPS as our US city police department. The Bush FEMA director whose only talent was PLAYING GOLF.

So, we will hear more of what is written below-------those OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% ASIAN/ARABIC/EUROPEAN will have those global IVY LEAGUES for only the global 1%. No US IVY LEAGUES for a nation with no national sovereignty.

China's top universities will rival Oxbridge, says Yale president

China is spending billions of yuan to propel its best institutions into the top 10, says visiting US academic
China's top universities could soon rival Oxford, Cambridge and the Ivy League, the president of Yale University has warned.
Professor Richard Levin, speaking to the Guardian on a trip to the UK, said Chinese institutions would rank in the world's top 10 universities in 25 years' time, squeezing out some of the west's elite campuses.
At the moment, British universities dominate the top 10 rankings, with Cambridge coming second to Harvard, University College London fourth and Oxford and Imperial College London joint fifth. The rest of the top 15 are US universities. China's highest-ranking institution is Tsinghua, at 49.
But the Chinese government now spends billions of yuan – at least 1.5% of its gross domestic product – on higher education with the aim of propelling its best institutions, such as the universities of Tsinghua and Peking, into the top slots, Levin said.
"In 25 years, only a generation's time, these universities could rival the Ivy League," said Levin, the Ivy League's longest-tenured president. He was speaking before giving a lecture on the rise of Asia's universities to the Royal Society in London on Monday evening.
Levin said: "China and India ... seek to expand the capacity of their systems of higher education ... and aspire simultaneously to create a limited number of world-class universities to take their places among the best. This is an audacious agenda, but China, in particular, has the will and resources that make it feasible. It has built the largest higher education sector in the world in merely a decade."
China has more than doubled the number of its higher education institutions in the last decade from 1,022 to 2,263. More than 5 million Chinese students enrol on degree courses now, compared to 1 million in 1997.
Chinese scholars are increasingly leaving their posts in US and UK universities to return home, Levin said.
The growth of Chinese higher education comes as English university leaders fear they may not be able to maintain their world-class reputation for higher education, with savage government cuts of £950m over the next three years.
Commenting on the cuts, Levin said it would be "a shame if the British government didn't recognise the status of Oxford and Cambridge as global leaders".
He pointed out that it had taken centuries for Harvard and Yale to match Oxford and Cambridge. And while China had a large pool of talent to draw on, it was currently seen as less attractive to scholars from across the world than the US and the UK, he said. China's universities lack "multidisciplinary breadth" and "the cultivation of critical thinking".
Levin said: "I don't see the rise of Asia's universities as threatening. Competition in education is a positive sum game. Increasing the quality of education around the world translates into better informed and more productive citizens."
He said Oxford and Cambridge's esteemed tutorial system, whereby one or two students have a private class with a lecturer, was "almost unthinkably labour-intensive in an Asian context". Too many academic grants were still given to Chinese scholars because of their political affiliations, Levin hinted.
"To create world-class capacity in research, resources must not only be abundant, they must also be allocated on the basis of scholarly and scientific merit, rather than on the basis of seniority or political influence. To create world-class capacity in education, [China's] curriculum must be broadened and pedagogy transformed." But, he said, these were problems that could be solved with sufficient leadership and political will.

The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett
Competition published on March 10, 2017.
Academic and bibliophile Arthur Prescott finds respite from the drudgery of his professorship in the Barchester Cathedral Library, where he devotes himself to researching the Holy Grail and writing his long-delayed guide to the history of the medieval cathedral. His peaceful existence is shattered by the arrival of a young American academic named Bethany Davis, who has come to digitize the library’s ancient books. Arthur’s initial hostility towards Bethany turns to affection as he discovers a kindred spirit who shares his interest in the Holy Grail and his devotion to literature.
Together, they mount a search for the Book of Ewolda, an esoteric tome that could reveal long-forgotten secrets about the Cathedral, the Grail and their connections to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. As Arthur and Bethany delve further into the past, the secret history of England – from the Norman invasion to the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution and the Blitz – is revealed.
We discussed how our US IVY LEAGUE university status went from those original northeastern colleges of PRINCETON, COLUMBIA. YALE, HARVARD to an expansion of that term IVY LEAGUE to more and more US universities. We knew our US government from local, state, and Federal levels had always been filled with US 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens and NOT IVY LEAGUE grads because government pay was middle-class while IVY LEAGUE grads have always gone for global banking corporate salaries---always higher. What we saw when MALTA took control of our US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT hiring was that shift away from hiring from our US public universities towards that of IVY LEAGUE CORPORATE UNIVERSITIES. It is no coincidence that a national news media began RANKING COLLEGES at that same time----US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT.
This college ranking had nothing to do with quality of education---it was tied to global banking 1% hiring graduates from those colleges. We see below a good discussion of these COLLEGE RANKINGS started in REAGAN era 1983------the goal was to shift hiring from our US public university grads to those private and newly deemed IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES.
Again, these colleges were not becoming stronger in education quality-----they were being made global corporate R and D departments ----PRODUCT PATENTING MILLS----that is the opposite of strong US public higher education.
1983---REAGAN ERA------US COLLEGE RANKINGS changed from providing strong public higher education to being corporate product patenting mills.
How did the US News & World Report college rankings come to dominate the way people evaluate colleges?
Ty Doyle, a lawyer with an opinion on everything
Answered Apr 9 2014 ·
Two things: being there first and the illusion of certainty. US News began publishing ratings in 1983, roughly 15 years before Baby Boomers' children started going to college in big numbers. Thus, even before getting into selective colleges became a competitive sport, US News was there and making a name for itself. Other rankings existed, but they tended to rank based on (sensible) categories like "best schools for people who like _____". US News purports to simply tell people which schools are best, period, and by getting there before anyone else, it became an authority, for better or worse.
This leads to the second reason. US News is popular for the same reason that Pitchfork's music reviews are popular: false detail. Most people will agree, for example, that the latest album from Arcade Fire is better than the last album from Ashlee Simpson, but how and why this is true is complicated and difficult to explain. Pitchfork, however, purports to tell you, down to a decimal place, which albums are good or bad. There is no real explanation as to why one album is 8.3 and another is 7.9, but that's the way it is. Right or wrong, the certainty of the reviews is both helpful and controversial; either way, it makes the site popular.
With colleges, most people similarly agree that Harvard is better than the University of New Mexico, but how much better, and why? And is Harvard better than Stanford? Than MIT? Again, the answers to these questions are complicated, and there's no "right" answer. US News is less of a black box than Pitchfork, but it still takes a formula that it creates--containing a number of questionable factors--runs data, and then purports to tell readers which schools are the "best," based on a 100-point scale. Is there really a difference between a 99.8 school and a 99.2? Is there even a material difference between a 99.8 school and an 85.0 school? Again, that's debatable. But for people who are stressed out about college and cannot possibly research dozens of schools with the necessary level of detail, the data is educational ("I didn't know X school was that high/low"), aids in decision-making ("School X is 3 spots better than School Y, so I'm going there"), and is controversial ("How can my rival be 7 spots higher than my alma mater?"). US News doesn't care whether you regard their rankings as gospel or snake oil, all they care about is that you pay for them. And given that data (and often the US News formula) change from year to year, there will always be a reason for those who care about college rankings to read.
_____________________________________________
If US citizens followed from 1983 these US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT we would see which colleges were being made LOSERS AND WINNERS by global banking 1%. Our US public universities had never worked for global banking. They were state universities or private colleges providing graduates to work in our local communities as business and government leaders. This is when we went from government by the 99% WE THE PEOPLE----to government by global banking 5% players often graduates from what these college rankings deemed our BEST US COLLEGES.
'U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2016 Best Colleges cover
In 1983, U.S. News & World Report published its first "America's Best Colleges" report. The rankings have been compiled and published annually since 1985 and are the most widely quoted of their kind in the United States. These rankings are based upon data that U.S. News & World Report collects from each educational institution from an annual survey sent to each school. The rankings are also based upon opinion surveys of university faculties and administrators who do not belong to the schools'.
It was REAGAN-era when what was called IVY LEAGUE expanded to what we see in these rankings. These were not OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% IVY LEAGUES----these were colleges and universities tied to creating those 5% ROBBER BARON players. It was no coincidence again that those colleges and universities ranked highest were saturated with GREEK CULTURE. We see some of our US public universities being made those new IVY LEAGUES------this was what REAGAN/CLINTON neo-liberalism used to kill strong public K-university creating the societal FAD of GREEKS in those colleges once graduating our 99% of WE THE PEOPLE to be community and small/regional business leaders.
Those colleges ranked highest were not necessarily the BEST in public education---they were simply tapped global banking 1% as a pipeline in expanding EMPIRE of Foreign Economic Zones globally. This was the beginning of the US AND THEM----those 5% freemason/Greek players vs our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE.
So, now these college rankings were being used as the reason to send FEDERAL FUNDING for R and D away from our US state universities where it had gone in modern history ----to those ranked highest by global banking 1%. This policy was what WEAKENED our US state and local colleges and universities ----and made those private and IVY LEAGUE universities FAT CATS.
This was when the US went from MERITOCRACY-------to CRONY NEPOTISM-----those 5% players not being the most qualified----but connected to OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% KINGS AND QUEENS.
This is what created the ME GENERATION of those 5% to the 1% global banking players.

Our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE have been duped with these Federal unemployment figures for these few decades. As REAGAN/CLINTON era shifted employment to OLD WORLD MALTA as human resources-----those US citizens not tied to US colleges ranked by US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT were of course those losing their jobs earliest. Even today, those US college grads left unemployed after graduating are those not tied to expanded IVY LEAGUE private/corporate colleges. This is how global banking 1% cleared our Federal, state, and local government agencies of 99% WE THE PEOPLE ----to those of 5% global banking players so quickly-----in only a few decades we had those ROBBER BARON 5% global banking pols and players.
Since the 1980s REAGAN era these Federal unemployment stats have been SKEWED------these stats used to be tied to our Federal unemployment checks-----when our US economy was FREE MARKET, domestic, and thriving------any US citizen losing a job found one within a few months----before unemployment checks ended. So, unemployment in US did parallel these FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES. In 1980s -1990s REAGAN/CLINTON with soaring US employment removing 99% WE THE PEOPLE from jobs ----those Federal unemployment figures started to be PROPAGANDA hiding the real US employment status.
THIS IS WHEN FULL EMPLOYMENT OF 4% BECAME FAKE. Here we see the WORLD BANK UNITED NATIONS telling us we have full employment when US 99% WE THE PEOPLE are long-term unemployed to over 50% MOVING FORWARD to 80%. We can follow college graduation to those US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT rankings---to see from where what are 20% falling to 5% of US citizens employed attended university.
Keep in mind all these world nations tied to being FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES are receiving these same SKEWED employment data-----hiring globally being tied to ever-smaller grouping of global IVY LEAGUE private corporate universities----

What will be left if we continue to allow this BUBBLE to kill all our US public state and local colleges and private arts and humanities? The US is MOVING FORWARD to having access to only ONLINE GLOBAL IVY LEAGUES accessed by global 1%.
NO HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOOLS FOR YOU----PUBLIC OR PRIVATE!
This is how low US public colleges are going---volunteer part-time adjuncts.

We see US public universities and private colleges on their way OUT----being resourced to lower and lower qualifications.
Want to Be a 'Volunteer Adjunct'?
Southern Illinois U. Is Hiring
By Nell Gluckman April 24, 2018
The pitch wasn’t exactly straightforward, but to some faculty members at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, the meaning was clear enough: Their university was trying to hire unpaid adjuncts.
In an email to department chairs, Michael R. Molino, associate dean for research, budget, and personnel, asked for help in finding alumni with terminal degrees who would apply “to join the SIU Graduate Faculty in a zero-time (adjunct) status.“
Alumni who accepted the three-year positions might serve on graduate students' thesis committees, teach graduate or undergraduate lectures, or collaborate on research projects, according to Molino’s email. The program was created by the Alumni Association, it said.
The “zero-time” positions might be valuable opportunities, it continued. “Participating alumni can benefit from intellectual interactions with faculty in their respective units, as well as through collegial networking opportunities with other alumni adjuncts who will come together regularly.”
Someone forwarded the email to Karen Kelsky, a career consultant for academics who wrote the book The Professor Is In. (Kelsky writes an advice column for The Chronicle.) She posted it to her Facebook page on Monday, along with a plea to her followers to contact Molino to express their disapproval.
The post drew a swift and loud response from academics who were enraged by what they saw as the latest attempt by a university to devalue their work. By Tuesday evening, more than 800 people had shared it. On Twitter it drew an even bigger reaction.
Academia is reverting from a profession to a pastime for the idle rich.
Be aware of and mad about this stuff. https://t.co/ZymkagvbOG
— Ed Burmila (@gin_and_tacos) April 24, 2018
Molina referred a request for comment to Carbondale's chief marketing and communications officer, Rae Goldsmith, who responded with a statement calling the plan to hire alumni a “proposed pilot project” meant “to connect qualified alumni with our students as mentors to enhance — not replace — the work of our faculty.”
The statement referred to participants in the program as “volunteer adjuncts.”
I’ve been watching this “volunteer” faculty position develop — and continue to be appalled at the devaluing of faculty positions. Sitting on a thesis committee can be A LOT OF WORK! https://t.co/ApjibBo5Rm
— Katherine D. Harris (@triproftri) April 24, 2018The statement, which Goldsmith attributed to Meera Komarraju, interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, also said that alumni who participate would not teach full courses. Instead, it said, they “might deliver an individual lecture or lead a seminar discussion based on their expertise.”
The program, it said, would help alumni who “are eager to give back to their university” an opportunity to serve as role models and professional contacts for graduate students.
David Johnson, an associate professor of classics and president of the university’s Faculty Association, was dubious. It’s common for professors at other institutions to work with Southern Illinois faculty members by speaking in a class or serving on a dissertation committee, he said. But formalizing that relationship in this way seemed odd to him.
“It looks like an attempt to outsource work to unpaid labor,” Johnson said. “That’s my first impression.”
Like its public-university peers in the state, Southern Illinois is not exactly flush with cash. A protracted political showdown left the state without a budget for about two years, and in 2016 the university's president told The Chronicle that his system had left vacant nearly 200 positions, many of them on the faculty.
Johnson acknowledged the university’s financial challenges. But “this effort to entice alumni to do work that SIUC faculty should be be doing instead is problematic,” he said.
Some departments have requirements for how many Southern Illinois faculty members have to serve on dissertation committees, Johnson said. The new program, he added, might be an attempt to get more people designated as faculty members at the university as a way get around those rules.
Johnson said faculty representatives would meet with administrators this week. The meeting was scheduled before the volunteer-adjunct program was announced, but Johnson said he now expected the new project to be a topic of discussion.

We have discussed this public education policy of MOOCs being installed as fast as global banking 1% can---tied with ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE ONE HIGHER EDUCATION CORPORATION for the global 1% and ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE COMMONER CORE for all 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE and our global 99% of citizens.
What was an US IVY LEAGUE for which to be proud have these few decades of ROBBER BARON frauds been made top gun in producing 5% global banking players and made a PRODUCT MILL PATENTING CORPORATION ----global hedge fund IVY LEAGUE corporations.
NO EXCEPTIONALISM COMING FROM OUR US IVY LEAGUES!
While 99% US WE THE PEOPLE are shouting and fighting the attack on our US public K-university ----those US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT COLLEGE RANKING winners-----are being taken to being great big LOSERS.
Was there a HARVARD OR YALE in MEDIEVAL TIMES? NOPE. Well, then if MOVING FORWARD ends US sovereignty taking us to colonial status so to go what was our US IVY LEAGUE universities and private colleges. This is ONE WORLD FOR ONLY THE GLOBAL 1% after all.
So, all those US IVY LEAGUES below will soon disappear into one global higher education corporation -----today we see all our 5% to the 1% global banking players filling these teaching spots----their talent? Lying, cheating, and stealing. It looks like the revolving door of WALL STREET.
We know when our US IVY LEAGUE universities are filled with people whose only talent is LYING, CHEATING, AND STEALING----our US strong public university system built to hold power accountable and provide REAL INFORMATION to 99% WE THE PEOPLE---is worthless to any 99% global citizen. It's like hiring the KEYSTONE COPS as our US city police department. The Bush FEMA director whose only talent was PLAYING GOLF.

China's top universities will rival Oxbridge, says Yale president

China is spending billions of yuan to propel its best institutions into the top 10, says visiting US academic
China's top universities could soon rival Oxford, Cambridge and the Ivy League, the president of Yale University has warned.
Professor Richard Levin, speaking to the Guardian on a trip to the UK, said Chinese institutions would rank in the world's top 10 universities in 25 years' time, squeezing out some of the west's elite campuses.
At the moment, British universities dominate the top 10 rankings, with Cambridge coming second to Harvard, University College London fourth and Oxford and Imperial College London joint fifth. The rest of the top 15 are US universities. China's highest-ranking institution is Tsinghua, at 49.
But the Chinese government now spends billions of yuan – at least 1.5% of its gross domestic product – on higher education with the aim of propelling its best institutions, such as the universities of Tsinghua and Peking, into the top slots, Levin said.
"In 25 years, only a generation's time, these universities could rival the Ivy League," said Levin, the Ivy League's longest-tenured president. He was speaking before giving a lecture on the rise of Asia's universities to the Royal Society in London on Monday evening.
Levin said: "China and India ... seek to expand the capacity of their systems of higher education ... and aspire simultaneously to create a limited number of world-class universities to take their places among the best. This is an audacious agenda, but China, in particular, has the will and resources that make it feasible. It has built the largest higher education sector in the world in merely a decade."
China has more than doubled the number of its higher education institutions in the last decade from 1,022 to 2,263. More than 5 million Chinese students enrol on degree courses now, compared to 1 million in 1997.
Chinese scholars are increasingly leaving their posts in US and UK universities to return home, Levin said.
The growth of Chinese higher education comes as English university leaders fear they may not be able to maintain their world-class reputation for higher education, with savage government cuts of £950m over the next three years.
Commenting on the cuts, Levin said it would be "a shame if the British government didn't recognise the status of Oxford and Cambridge as global leaders".
He pointed out that it had taken centuries for Harvard and Yale to match Oxford and Cambridge. And while China had a large pool of talent to draw on, it was currently seen as less attractive to scholars from across the world than the US and the UK, he said. China's universities lack "multidisciplinary breadth" and "the cultivation of critical thinking".
Levin said: "I don't see the rise of Asia's universities as threatening. Competition in education is a positive sum game. Increasing the quality of education around the world translates into better informed and more productive citizens."
He said Oxford and Cambridge's esteemed tutorial system, whereby one or two students have a private class with a lecturer, was "almost unthinkably labour-intensive in an Asian context". Too many academic grants were still given to Chinese scholars because of their political affiliations, Levin hinted.
"To create world-class capacity in research, resources must not only be abundant, they must also be allocated on the basis of scholarly and scientific merit, rather than on the basis of seniority or political influence. To create world-class capacity in education, [China's] curriculum must be broadened and pedagogy transformed." But, he said, these were problems that could be solved with sufficient leadership and political will.

The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett
Competition published on March 10, 2017.
Academic and bibliophile Arthur Prescott finds respite from the drudgery of his professorship in the Barchester Cathedral Library, where he devotes himself to researching the Holy Grail and writing his long-delayed guide to the history of the medieval cathedral. His peaceful existence is shattered by the arrival of a young American academic named Bethany Davis, who has come to digitize the library’s ancient books. Arthur’s initial hostility towards Bethany turns to affection as he discovers a kindred spirit who shares his interest in the Holy Grail and his devotion to literature.
Together, they mount a search for the Book of Ewolda, an esoteric tome that could reveal long-forgotten secrets about the Cathedral, the Grail and their connections to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. As Arthur and Bethany delve further into the past, the secret history of England – from the Norman invasion to the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution and the Blitz – is revealed.
