...very nice to have launched the revised test with the various improvements that the graduate community helped us design, but the issue of access and having enough seats and centers for all students kept us from launching the new test,” ETS spokesman Tom Ewing said. ETS undertook the effort to revamp the GRE in the wake of security concerns. Some test questions began showing up on Web sites in Asia about five years ago. Ben Baron, vice president of graduate programs at Kaplan Test Prep, said that the ETS decision was largely beneficial for students?...
...bearded men in jeans scan the crowd for familiar faces. In something resembling a crossover between a Woodstock reunion and an academic conference, several hundred of them - interspersed by the rare business suit - gathered at a church in downtown Prague to celebrate an act of courage they jointly undertook 30 years ago. In 1977, a decade after Soviet tanks had crushed the last flowering of free expression on their city's streets, these men and women signed Charter 77, a human-rights declaration demanding freedoms suppressed by the totalitarian communist regime in what was then Czechoslovakia...

...legislation was introduced in 2006, and promptly embraced by almost every church in that country. This included Akinola's, which does nothing without his say-so. Akinola's acceptance of the bill caused considerable discomfort in the 73-million member Anglican communion - even among fellow conservatives, some of whom undertook a quiet campaign to change his mind.

...simply unacceptable that students at Harvard should lack academic opportunities of any sort, particularly those necessary to study a region of increasing global importance. The South Asian Studies Initiative (SASI), a student-led coalition, has exhaustively documented student interest in and dissatisfaction with South Asian Studies; in 2005, SASI undertook a comprehensive survey in which 126 students from a variety of concentrations and backgrounds participated. The survey showed that academic interest in South Asia, particularly from undergraduates, was on the rise, while Harvard resources were inadequate not only in fulfilling students’ demand but also in comparison...
