  1. Leader: A target to boost lifelong learning

  2. Leader: It pays to think business

    A theologian with an eye for the market takes over at the Arts and Humanities Research Council while Cambridge philosophers advise BT on how to instil loyalty in their customers. Is nowhere free from...

  3. More roadblock than roadmap 1

    The attempt by Hilary and Steven Rose to justify a boycott of Israeli academics highlights the core fallacy of their cause - the comparison between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the Arab-...

  4. More roadblock than roadmap 2

    The boycott against Israel is no more racist than the boycott against South Africa was. It is disgraceful that opposition to the Israeli state's racist policies is equated with anti-Semitism. An...

  5. More roadblock than roadmap 3

    Surely the Association of University Teachers should boycott Palestinian universities, because they sponsor and incite hate and terror, and Arab academics coming from countries that have largely...

  6. More roadblock than roadmap 4

    I'm glad the AUT is reconsidering its boycott of Israeli universities. But it comes too late for me. After almost 20 years' membership I resigned two years ago because the union was devoting more...

  7. More roadblock than roadmap 5

    Although I can understand the AUT's frustrations over Israel, we ought not to attack fellow academics wherever they are - Israel, Zimbabwe, the US, North Korea or Iran - but by contact and example...

  10. Unqualified critiques? 2

    Reading Frank Furedi and Bob Brecher, one might think that a PhD, a smattering of part-time seminar leading, and a publications record qualifies anyone to teach adults. The value of training depends...

  11. Murder not new

    What is so groundbreaking about David Buss's findings that men are supposedly "hardwired to kill", especially when incensed by sexual arousal? (Features, May 13). "Crimes of passion" have only...

  12. RAE-assessment

    I hope your leader on the research assessment exercise was too pessimistic (Opinion, May 13). In the new system, we may find that 4* research is concentrated in few places. Whether funding is...

  13. Quiz competence

    I read Alison Wolf's comments on exams and the audit culture with interest (Opinion, May 13). I have often wondered why we persist in having a system that discourages deep learning in favour of...

  14. Football fantasy

    In the mid-Nineties you carried an article that sought to portray me as the world's unluckiest football fan. Three of my allegiances, Bolton Wanderers (bottom of the Premiership), Luton Town (bottom...

  15. The Russian returned

    Physicist Pyotr Kapitza was indeed detained in Russia in 1934, (Campus curiosities, May 13). However, he did return to Cambridge, but only much later, in 1966. John Little Glasgow
