Realities behind riots

Article Abstract:

Removing the discriminatory barriers that keep blacks out of graduate education would alleviate the conditions that brought on the riots in Los Angeles, CA, in Apr, 1992. Statistics released by the National Research Council indicate that lack of educational opportunities contributed to the social frustration underlying the violence. Only two percent of doctorates in the US were awarded to blacks in 1990; moreover, 63% of black doctoral students are unable to obtain research grants and face the burden of trying to earn their degrees and a living simultaneously.

Universities confront changing markets

Article Abstract:

Universities in the UK are facing the challenges of the growing needs of postgraduate education and research. The need for providing education on the World Wide Web is increasing. Institutions are developing new teaching courses and must maintain high quality which is an essential factor in this growing export industry rather than depending on the value of research. Either the students or their employers have to pay for the education. The government should impose certain restrictions on institutions that can provide postgraduate education and research.
