A four-year undergraduate program designed to "empower the next generation of disruptive inventors and professional thought leaders across a multitude of global industries."
--from The New Yorker
I kid thee not!
Post-disciplinary research, multi-disciplinary research, cutting edge frontiers, hubs of excellence, fostering students' entrepreneurial potential ("the hidden me"); there's more: centres of excellence and innovation, developing analytical skills to face the challenges of the world economy, the IT revolution, the Orange Revolution, Prince's Purple Revolution; ethical leadership in a de-mythologized world; strategizinng and managing -"riding the tiger"- for dummies; training the trainers; Steve Jobs 101; creativity for nerds; gender studies funded by the al-Shaikh foundation; attentiveness and mindfulness for corporate success; how to tweet your emotional responses to your teachers (rate my professor); navigate-yes we must all navigate now- your way through the ten thousand books/comics/games/porn films on your computer; wire up, clue in, switch off, dumb down; a history of the book (an ITV documentary); Socrates vs Marx: an anthropological investigation; subjectivizing the subject to the post-colonial, ontological gaze of 'the other'; feminism for feminists; the non-existence of climate change (sponsored by BP, Shell). Learning to Read and the History of Thought with G. Walker; Middle East Peace Studies (co-taught by Tony Blair and Ariel Sharon).
Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
US-Aid has sponsored a two-day conference here on ethical leadership in the public sector. They've wheeled some people in from Hicksville and dressed it up a bit. But the real question: will US-Aid ever sponsor a conference on corporate greed and the failures of the private sector (including their links with the military establishment)? Don't hold your breath!
All this comes on the back of the massive Forex scandal and what has to be one of the biggest scams when it comes to higher education (and that's saying a lot!)..the Axact scam. the sheer inventiveness of this guy is impressive ("creativity," entrepreneurial skills?). What's even more interesting is the t.v. station, Bol, that he set up and that was about to be launched this summer against what the army think is the anti-army Geo channel.
Someone had told you about this a year ago, about how Bol was being backed by the army and that the private sector financiers who were behind it also made a lot of their money from porn and gambling sites. Say it again: states and market, states and...
But the sheer scale of this scam is not something you had any inkling of. In the land of the pure there's still a lot of "purification" that needs to take place!
