It's time for women to turn the tables

Article Abstract:

Male academics in the UK are paid an average of 4,307 pounds sterling a year more than their female colleagues, according to a league table compiled from figures supplied by the Higher Education Statistics Agency. The National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education claims that there is a serious sex discrimination problem at all levels of the higher education system, and is calling on university vice-chancellors to set targets for improving women's pay. It also believes that universities should implement guidelines developed by the Commission on University Career Opportunity.

They gave me a C - but I deserved an A, didn't I?

Article Abstract:

It is becoming common for university tutors in the UK to come under strong pressure to raise the grades of students who have worked hard but have produced relatively poor work. Many tutors are yielding to this pressure, either because they feel sorry for the student or because they fear litigation. This problem is likely to worsen as students are forced to pay tuition fees and therefore feel that they have a right to a positive outcome from their university education. School teachers may be contributing to the problem by rewarding efforts that do not lead to achievement.
