House Master title and Harvard

House masters, in charge of residential halls at the university :

will become known as "faculty deans".

US campuses have faced a series of protests over allegations of racism.

Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word "master" from academic titles,

after protests from students who claimed the title had echoes of slavery. :-[

It will mean a change in job title for 24 members of staff

- but will not affect other uses of "master", such as a master's level degree. 8)

Harvard Law School is considering changing its seal

because of accusations of links to slavery

           

In South Africa, a statue of Cecil Rhodes was removed from the University of Cape Town

with protesters attacking the statue as an emblem of colonialism and apartheid.

But a call to remove a statue of the 19th Century politician from Oriel College in Oxford University was rejected. :-[

dont be so simple-minded SCA.  that way you give ketchim ammunition to beat up pon you.

the Rhodes Foundation is not going to pick just any student no matter how brilliant they are. Brilliance is not the point.  allegiance to the system is the point. that is suitability!

you behave like an innocent SCA.  sure Cecil is dead and gone but beware of what he left behind, come bearing gifts today.  it always pays to look a gift horse in the mouth. the gif' might not be a gif' at all but an investment

Harvard Law School is to change its official seal, after a protest that it had links to slavery.

The law school, part of the US university, has a seal that includes the crest of

a notoriously brutal 18th Century slave owner.  ::yawn::
