The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act mandates that institutions of higher education report crimes statistics to the public and the Department of Education (DOE) in order to receive federal financial aid. This requirement led to a proliferation of data that was initially difficult to access or incorrectly reported. Recent efforts by the DOE and institutions of higher education to make this information available to the public led to access through government and university websites.

Capella University was founded in 1993 to serve adults who wanted access to high-quality higher education to maximize their personal and professional potential. In the early 2000s, to better serve its mission, Capella extended its online education focus and begin offering competency-based curriculum. Already a leader in online, adult-serving higher education, Capella responded to the external pressures of access and completion, affordability, and filling the gap between employers' hiring needs and satisfaction with recent graduates. The response was the development of FlexPath, a competency-based education and direct assessment option to pursue a degree that signifies clear demonstration of professionally relevant competencies. In 2013 FlexPath was the first direct assessment option to receive approval by a regional accreditor (the Higher Learning Commission) and the Department of Education for federal financial aid eligibility at the bachelor's and master's levels.

El trabajo de investigación que se reporta busca hacer observables los posibles cambios en las trayectorias y perfiles del personal académico que podían atribuirse a la aparición e implementación, en la mayor parte de las Instituciones de Educación Superior públicas del país, de programas que tenían como objetivo el mejoramiento de los perfiles formativos, de producción e inserción internacional de los académicos, y que emplearon diferentes mecanismos de evaluación, diferenciación de ingresos y apoyos a la continuación de su formación. A través de definir una periodización que reflejara la aparición y modificaciones de dichas medidas, la propuesta de una tipología de las instituciones de educación superior y la adopción de una forma de organizar la diversidad disciplinaria, se intentaron controlar analíticamente los efectos paralelos que estos aspectos pudieran tener en la variación de condiciones de trabajo y socialización de los académicos. Con esta forma de organizar la diversidad se analizaron la evolución formativa, la combinación de actividades, el uso del tiempo, las opiniones y los resultados reportados por los académicos del país en la encuesta aplicada en 2001. Finalmente, en el trabajo que se presenta se subrayan algunos de los logros, tensiones y riesgos que parecen derivarse de las lógicas coexistentes en los mecanismos impulsados, especialmente en los ámbitos del compromiso institucional y la renovación de la planta académica actual.AbstractThe work of investigation that is reported looks for making observable the possible changes in the trajectories and profiles of the academic personal that could be attributed to the appearance and implementation, in most of the public Institutions of Higher Education of the country, of programs which  had like objective the improvement of the formative profiles, of production and international insertion of the academics, and that used different mechanisms from evaluation, differentiation of income and supports to the continuation of their formation. Through defining a periodization that reflected the appearance and modifications of these measures, the proposal of a typology of the institutions of higher education and the adoption of a form to organize the disciplinary diversity, were tried analytically to control the parallel effects that these aspects could have in the variation of conditions of work and socialization of the academics. With this form to organize the diversity were analyzed the formative evolution, the combination of activities, the use of the time, the opinions and the results reported by the academics of the country in the survey applied in 2001. Finally, this work emphasizes some of the profits, tensions and risks that seem to derive themselves from the coexisting logics in the impelled mechanisms, especially in the scopes of the institutional commitment and the renovation of the present academic plant.

Problem setting. Leasing out property that is involved in educational, academic, training and production, scientific activities by the public institutions of higher education often leads to violation of the rights of other participants in educational activities. They are sure to be a result of violating the limits, established by the current legislation, of exercising the rights to leasing out property by the public institutions of higher educational. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of state property lease have been studied by many scholars. Basic research in this area has been conducted by I. Spasibo-Fatieieva, O. Lipetsker, Ye.Kazarenko, V. Steshenko, M. Pronina, S. Puhinsky, T. Potapenkova, Yu.Basin, D. levenson, N. Khashchivska, N. Milovska and other scientists. Target of research. The aim of the paper is a comprehensive study and analysis of the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: 1) to define the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property; 2) to determine the legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by the public higher educational institutions in violation of current legislation. Article’s main body. The article conducts a general study and analysis of the right of the public institutions of higher education to lease property. The author emphasizes that public higher educational institutions have the right to lease out only real estate and other individually identified property. The legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by public higher educational institutions in violation of the current legislation have been studied. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the results of the study we can formulate the following conclusions. The public institutions of higher education have the right to lease out real estate and other individually determined property in the manner prescribed by law and subject to statutory restrictions (without the right of redemption and sublease, when it does not worsen the social and living conditions of persons studying or working in the educational institution). While leasing the property, the public higher educational institution realizes primarily their own property interests, at the same time, indirectly realizing the property interests of the state. If the lease agreement of real estate and other individually determined property of higher educational institutions is recognized as invalid, it may be recognized as invalid only for the future.

Hugo Chavez's clash with Venezuelan higher education is a vivid present-day example of a history of confrontation between leftist, populist regimes and higher education in Latin America. Chavez has transformed the public sector through creation and expansion of new universities. Chavez's policies have alienated the country's private institutions of higher education. Both public and private universities are reduced in importance.

Aid Relief

COVID-19 relief for academic librariesWhile budget cuts for college and research libraries are taking place at many institutions, ALA continues to advocate for libraries to be included in federal relief packages. The $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L.116-136), passed in April, would benefit college and research libraries. The majority of the CARES Act Education Stabilization Fund is reserved for institutions of higher education (IHE) centers around student aid and encourages maximum flexibility. For example, the Department of Education (ED) is suspending payments on federal student loans until September 30, 2020, and no interest would accrue during this period of suspension. However, as much as 49% of the Education Stabilization Fund may be expended (to cover any costs associated with significant changes to the delivery of instruction due to the coronavirus), with only a few constraints.

<p>La estructura de las enseñanzas universitarias se ha modificado para servir a unos objetivos sociales y educativos más amplios, por lo que, a raíz de la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), ha aumentado la oferta universitaria de titulaciones de Doble Grado y Posgrado. En este nuevo ámbito educativo se crea un Marco de Cualificaciones de carácter internacional para facilitar la transferencia y el reconocimiento de los estudios cursados en otros países. La mutua confianza entre instituciones de Enseñanza Superior y el reconocimiento de las titulaciones que expiden tiene como soporte básico una metodología común, contrastada, de evaluación y de acreditación de la calidad. Los objetivos de esta investigación son analizar y comparar la oferta académica tanto de Grado como de Ingenierías, Licenciaturas y Diplomaturas de las universidades públicas madrileñas; así como discernir sus señas de identidad. Se ha realizado un estudio contrastivo de titulaciones de Grado, Doble Grado, bilingües, online y anteriores al Plan Bolonia por áreas de conocimiento; de los estudiantes matriculados; y del número de docentes. Los resultados constatan una oferta académica heterogénea; la prevalencia de titulaciones bilingües y online en las Universidades Carlos III y Rey Juan Carlos, respectivamente; la mayor presencia de alumnos matriculados en el área de Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas en las Universidades Complutense y Rey Juan Carlos; y la adecuación de la oferta académica a las demandas empresariales, lo que sitúa a los universitarios de la Comunidad de Madrid a la vanguardia del conocimiento en la Sociedad de la Información.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Contrastive study of the academic offer Degree and pre-Bologna Process in Public Universities of Madrid.</strong></p><p>The structure of University education has been modified to serve wider social and educational goals, so that, following the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has increased University offering Undergraduate and graduate Double Degrees.

Campus Law Enforcement

Three hundred seventy-one members of the International Association of College Law Enforcement Administrators responded to a questionnaire designed to measure the influence of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act on campus law enforcement practices. The majority of respondents credit the Act with improving crime reporting practices, and some law enforcement officers credit the Act with improving the quality of some programs and services. Most, however, do not think the Act has done much to reduce campus crime or to change student behavior.
