Now lenders will perform a second credit check before closing on a mortgage. No guarantees if you've been approved, you'll have to life righteously in the eyes of creditors to get that final closing.
Thanks to a new mandate from Fannie Mae, called the "Loan Quality Initiative," lenders will now request a second credit report on a borrower right before closing to make sure that their score hasn't taken a hit between the initial agreement and closing. Inman News, a real estate website, says this second credit check is designed to protect lenders from issuing risky loans, but also means that consumers have to be vigilant about maintaining their credit score before closing.
There are several steps consumers must take to guarantee that their score stays at the level that led to the lender approving the loan application.
As long as consumers keep these new measures in mind, and how to avoid lowering their credit score, they should have no problem getting the mortgage they agreed to.

Texas Tech is committed to providing its students, faculty, and staff with an educational environment free from all forms of sex or gender-based harassment, unlawful discrimination, and sexual misconduct; prohibited conduct includes acts of sexual violence, sexual harassment, domestic or dating violence, and stalking. The Texas Tech community is dedicated to fostering and supporting a culture of mutual respect and communication.
Texas Tech University does not tolerate discrimination or harassment of students based on or related to sex, race, national origin, religion, age, disability, protected veteran status, or other protected categories, classes, or characteristics. While sexual orientation and gender identity are not protected categories under state or federal law, it is Texas Tech University policy not to discriminate on this basis. Actions related to admission, discipline, housing, extracurricular and academic opportunities shall not be made based on a student's protected status. Discriminatory behavior is prohibited regardless of the manner in which it is exhibited, whether verbally, in writing, or electronically displayed or conveyed. Individuals who violate these policies and laws are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion.
All members of the campus community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. Texas Tech University believes in zero tolerance for sex/gender-based harassment, discrimination, or other misconduct. Zero tolerance means that when an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate administrator's attention, protective and other remedial measures will be implemented to reasonably ensure that such conduct ends, is not repeated, and the effects on the victim and community are remedied, including serious sanctions when a responding party is found to have violated this policy.
Texas Tech University uses the preponderance of the evidence (also known as "more likely than not") as a standard for proof of whether a violation occurred. In student conduct proceedings, legal terms like "guilt," "innocence," and "burdens of proof" are not applicable, as students are either found "responsible" or "not responsible" for a violation of the Code of Student Conduct and it is neither party's burden to prove their case. The University never assumes a responding party is in violation of University policy, but rather, trained investigators conduct a thorough, neutral, and impartial investigation into the incident, after which a decision-maker (either a Hearing Officer or a University Discipline Committee) considers the totality of all available evidence and information from all relevant sources before rendering a decision regarding responsibility.

Lancaster High School senior Adam Bailey got some good news earlier this week.
Once all the grades were figured in, Bailey was named salutatorian for the LHS Class of 2016.
The bad news is the change in class rank impacted Marci Morrow.
Morrow is Bailey's girlfriend. The two have been dating since the summer between their sophomore and junior years.
His final GPA is 5.344. Hers is 5.335.
Morrow wasn't a bit surprised by the change.
The S.C. Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will commemorate the 236th anniversary of the Battle of Waxhaws, better known as Buford's Massacre, at the battle site Saturday.
The event starts at 10:30 a.m. on Rocky River Road just south of Buford Crossroads, about 9 miles east of Lancaster.
HEATH SPRINGS – Less than two weeks after being released on bond for a violent crime in February, a man has been arrested for two brutal murders near his Heath Springs neighborhood.
Arkeves Jimon Cauthen, 28, of 201 Reeves St., was charged in the murder of 54-year-old Sandra Johnson on Wednesday. On Thursday, Cauthen was charged with murdering 71-year-old John Harden Duncan, whose body was found Wednesday night.
In 1791, 59-year-old George Washington found himself in an unusual Southern quandary, according to historians Louise Pettus and Martha Bishop.
The American Revolutionary War hero and first president was being worshipped, backslapped, saluted, wined and dined by the upper crust of the young nation, but an air of genuine distrust of anyone in government still permeated the Carolina backcountry.
A Lancaster woman, who highway patrol officials said was driving drunk, was seriously injured in a single-vehicle accident Monday night on John Everall Road.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller said Tabitha Hinson Cudd, 27, was traveling east on John Everall Road in a 2004 Toyota SUV when she ran off the side of the roadway near Robin Road and struck a tree head-on.
Miller said Cudd, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown through the front windshield and the SUV caught fire.
The journey that led to Friday night's state softball championship started for Jensen and Kaylee Shelby's family three decades ago.
Third baseman Jensen and designated runner Kaylee hugged their teammates on the field Friday night after winning Buford High School's first AA state title. Their mom Donna Shelby hugged everyone in the stands.
After a wet Friday night, the weather for the Red Rose Festival turned fabulous Saturday, pushing attendance to an estimated 8,000 people, up 60 percent from a year ago.
"It really went well," Joe Timmons, events and promotions manager for the city of Lancaster, said Tuesday. "We couldn't have asked for better weather on Saturday."
Timmon's estimated attendance for the seventh-annual street party at 8,000, up from 5,000 last year.
Lancaster County Council has issued an ultimatum to Fancy Pokket President Mike Timani – get a certificate of occupancy for your manufacturing plant by Oct. 31, or pay the $274,000 penalty specified in your 2012 agreement with the county.
In a 6-1 vote Monday night, the council decided there will be no more extensions and no further waivers for the Canadian company.
While the 2016 Red Rose Festival got off to a soggy start Friday, Main Street was a busy, vibrant place Saturday.
By lunchtime, the Ferris Wheel was turning, with riders waiting in line.
"I'm so glad the rain's not here," said Mark Barrett, who was manning the Christian Services information tent. "It's starting to break up and the skies are getting brighter."
Children of all ages were enjoying the downtown fun.
FLORENCE–The Buford High School Lady Yellow Jackets defeated the Dillon High School Lady Wildcats 2-1 to win the Class AA state softball championship at South Florence High School on Friday night. Check back later for details.

Check it out, I been waitin', playin', for a long time
X amount of thoughts carried out in my mind
I turn on the TV, I see crime
Script written diligently and aired on time
Push the power button, now I'm to the tower somethin'
Opened up my fridge and found nothin'
Tipped to my room with an aura of gloom
Wishin' I could write another tune
But my hands are paralyzed, plus my eyes
Wanna shed tears, but it's not possible, there's
The burden of things I couldn't bear
Feelings weren't dealt with properly remorse follows me
With his good friend, the threat of poverty
Here's where I am, versus where I think I oughta be
There's a certain chance I'm a victim of circumstance
I take a look at myself and at first glance
I see who I recently thought to be me
Based on identities public and private
Behold the radio pirate, ya nigga
A felon, chillin' with a gun to your melon
A pimp with his pockets swellin', a jester
A slave with wounds that fester, the wanna-be
Pre-med 3-D dread an academic reject
Hopin' to detect life, erect what God gave
Human laws are laid, we go to war, come back
And come up with more, I'm kind, friendly, your worst enemy
Charming, crass, and potentially
Dangerous, have you ever heard of such?
I'm invisible and impossible to touch
This is not my beautiful melting identity
The thoughts that I can't manipulate for the safe line
Is personal, one amongst many is the macro
Made from the pain of the fragile
This is not my beautiful melting identity
The thoughts that I can't manipulate for the safe line
Is personal, one amongst many is the macro
Made from the pain of the fragile
This is not my beautiful melting identity
The thoughts that I can't manipulate for the safe line
Is personal, one amongst many is the macro
Made from the pain of the fragile
I still say fresh dope and things of that sort
I don't shoot up, smoke crack, or take shorts
Your thoughts are always welcome, I seldom
Won't enter another's perspective, corrective lenses
Are somethin' that I wear, so I can see the globe real clear
Look, there's famine over there, plus the families in fear
Of disease and distress that lingers in the air
These are the words of a man in purgatory
Words of a simpleton living in oblivion
Is this the model for life you will envisionin'
Free as can be in a world of imprisonment?
I dare you to check new territory
American dream? Time for another story
One where I don't choke to keep afloat
I'm sick of livin' on false visions of hope
With a knife to my own throat
Stick of dynamite inside my overcoat
Because I know the ropes
Reality in this world is bought and sold
A very limited scope of life is shown
And I'm just one of the mold, fully controlled
Left to erode in my humble abode
You won't hear me because I got no loot
You don't hear me because you don't compute
I'm docile, psycho, have you heard of such?
I'm invisible and impossible to touch
Single mother, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Office worker, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Caught up in the system, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Tryin' to earn a living, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Depressed and uninspired, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Hard-workin', broke and tired, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Seekin' education, who are you?
(I'm Phantom)
Can't get ahead no matter what you do?
(I'm Phantom)

DALLAS, Ore. (AP) — A prosecutor says a Willamette Valley woman accused of conspiring with her boyfriend to murder his parents has accepted a plea deal and will serve 20 years.
A statement from District Attorney Stan Butterfield noted that Cindy Lou Beck's no-contest plea Tuesday came a year to the day after the deaths of David and Marilyn Jondle at their farm southwest of Dallas in Polk County.
In July, their 21-year-old son, Andrew, pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in a plea bargain carrying a minimum 50-year sentence.
Butterfield says Beck and Andrew Jondle were after money to avoid eviction from their Salem apartment and to get Beck's children out of state custody.
Investigators say his parents objected to Andrew's relationship with Beck, 27 years older.
Formal sentencing for both is Sept. 19.

Just hung up with a someone WWOZ is negotiating with in Washington DC for rights to broadcast an event live. The person I talked to had just seen last night's re-run teaser episode of Treme, was the first time she had ever watched the show, noticed we were in it and it didn't hurt our negotiations one bit.
The 16th century French were fascinated by the interplay of appearance and reality, before that the Greeks, and before them, the ancient mystics along the banks of the Indus River. And now, I'm suddenly all too aware of the interplay.
The creators of Treme profess their love for WWOZ. And I have no doubt of it. Yet, saying that what they create is fiction, not fact, and therefore tell stories about WWOZ (and everybody else in New Orleans) that make us scratch our heads, since so-o-o many things happen around this town, and especially around 'OZ that are every bit if not more unreal than the shit they make up.
I mean, as far as I know, nobody has actually killed a chicken in the 'OZ studios. But, I have to admit, when we were broadcasting from the tree house in Armstrong Park, that easily could have happened.
But the stuff, that actually did happen, I mean — one of our past dj's (no longer with us!) packing a gun when she did her show, someone else commandeering the station and locking himself into the control room at 2 am in the morning shouting invectives over the air to the station manager, another' OZilian driving his pickup truck into the lagoon one very late and drunken membership eve. I could go on.
But that's not my main point. Treme has been a great blessing for WWOZ. I mean, getting the station's name seen and heard by those either already or becoming enamored of the New Orleans music culture is a huge thing for us. But up to a point. In the case of the chicken story, it certainly could have happened, and if it did or it didn't, it totally fits who we are in this particular real world.
But, we, at 'OZ, always worry, more so than the rest of this city's highly obsessive partisans, "Will Simon and company get it right?"
And, even more than whether David Simon and his krewe of funkophiliacs get 'OZ right, I find myself worrying, "Will WWOZ become so self-conscious of itself, that it simply quits being, and starts representing. Because, at the end of the day, Treme's purpose is to represent our culture to those who are not us. And because of it, we can't help but be more aware of ourselves as a point of interest to those who are not us. Our tourist-based economy already assures that we are constantly reminded of it. But now, Kermit-- a real musician—is also a character in a TV series. At least with Kermit, I have no fear that he will remain true to himself.
But one thing that I fret about from time to time is--how many others of us will start playing ourselves, instead of just being ourselves? When we start representing our culture and music, we start down the road that ends in Disneyland, or some variation of it, with a roped off area for the tourists to visit to see how "we live." (Make that "lived," because, by the time you reach that point, it ain't nothing but a postcard.)
We don't represent ourselves through our music here in New Orleans. We express our lives through it.
Can I get an amen?
Peace and Blessings!
Writing from far away Barcelona, something similar is happening here with mediterranean, catalan or spanish culture, This huge amount of tourists coming here expecting to have the time of their lifes with the deepest and most authentic flamenco live music or whatever...
But as you just said bout Kermit, as long as we remain true to ourselfs and do not start performing... this is just gonna help enhancing and spreading the culture, isnt it?
If it wasnt for Treme i wouldnt know this amazing radio im addicted to!
oh we wont bow down, on nobodies ground...

The worst salon i have ever been to. My gels are horrible, the level of service is no where near as good as what i recieve at my usual salon for the same price! they charge £35 for gels and dont even include a soak or cuticle removal, the place i use in south kensington goes above and beyond for the same price. The owner was rude to another customer whilst i was in there arguing over £5 with a heavily pregnant lady, it was totally out of order in front of everyone. The girls seemed nice but everything just ruined the whole experience.

The beauty of the developing embryo, and the awe that it inspires, lure many scientists into the field of developmental biology. What compels cells to divide, migrate, and morph into a being with a complex body plan? Evolutionary developmental biologists hold similar fascinations, with dynamics that take place on a grander timescale. How do phenotypic traits diverge over evolutionary time? This primer illustrates how a deep understanding of the basic principles that underlie developmental biology have changed how scientists think about the evolution of body form. The primer culminates in a conversation with David Stern, PhD, and Michael Shapiro, PhD, who discuss current topics in morphological evolution, why the field should be of interest to classic developmental biologists, and what lies ahead.

So, biodynamic planting seems to be something that is popular out there. I found some general guides on a website, in conjuntion with this moon phase calculator, enjoy.
The plan goes like this:
Interestingly, it's traditional to plant your potatoes on Good Friday which, because of the way Easter is calculated, is always a few days after the full moon – the ideal time for root vegetables, according to this scheme!
One advantage of dividing the jobs up like this, especially in spring, is that it feels less overwhelming. Not planted beans yet? No need to fret, it's not a fruit week, so just get on with the digging and be patient :)
This is something iv been following loosely for a couple of years now. The weather these past two years hasn't helped But for anyone interested in moon gardening there's a book by a Cornish horticulturalist,head gardener {who's been moon gardening since the 60s} that i recommend. R.J.Harris moon gardening – you cant get it through normal channels [amazon etc] He has a website where you can order it..
Actually, i think i got my copy online from abe books
I was just reading about this vis-a-vis harvesting. It seems like this would be really hard for me to plan this out because of other demands on my time. I'm constantly missing just general planting dates let alone trying the get the phases of the moon in there.
yeah you're not the only one nax. we bought the biodynamic calendar for 2008 and never managed to do one thing.

WOSU's Steve Brown reports that the Buckeye Firearms Association will offer a free, three-day "firearm training" course for Ohio teachers next year:
The first three-day course for 24 teachers is scheduled for early next month. The course will include class tuition, ammunition, and lodging. "The long-term goal is to develop a standard Armed Teacher curriculum and make the training available to any teacher or school official," said Ken Hanson, the organization's legal chair.
The Ohio firearm rights-advocacy group's offer comes as the National Rifle Association calls for placing armed guards in schools. From NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre's public statement today:
I call on Congress today to act immediately, to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every school — and to do it now, to make sure that blanket of safety is in place when our children return to school in January.
We also got a note this week from a retired Central Ohio teacher who says that teachers aren't the only ones who might need training. The "real first responders" are our school secretaries and receptionists, who are often the first ones to greet the parents and the public, she says.

Look, I know Im jumping on the band-wagon, but Halo rocks!! I have recently learned the ways of fragging loud mouthed, ego-tripping, bragging butt blasters!! They talk all kinds of crap, and when you hand them their ass, they get all mad, and swear you're cheating somehow. Oh well, look ass-goblins, take your loss like a real gamer, and just say a warm "F-YOU", and be on your way, dont go on a rant about how you never lose, or that you know I cheated, cause its all crap. Much love, Rob. (and to those monkey-rapers, eat my ass, you know who you are!)

August 15th 2014 at 1:42pm, By Guest Post
This guest post is from Feroz Ali, Chair of Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI). ED Blog welcomes guest contributions.
Following on from my previous opinion piece defending the educational performance of commercial and not-for-profit Private Training Establishments (PTEs) and the ability of the private sector to contribute to better outcomes for New Zealand, I now want to examine the Tertiary Education Union's (TEU's) comments regarding taxpayer funding for PTEs.
In general, taxpayer funding going to PTEs (particularly commercial PTEs) seems to make the TEU very "angry". National President Lesley Francey told the 2013 TEU conference "we've got a lot to be angry about." In particular, she said "it makes me angry that our taxes are being used to create private profit and not public good." I would argue strongly that the education that PTEs provide to learners and graduates is a clear example of public good. Again, we should be focussing on outcomes and not ownership.
This attitude is not new. The TEU's negative view of PTEs was clearly set out in their 2011 policy on PTE funding. The key section reads:
"The TEU does not support public funding for private training establishments. We believe that New Zealand's small population base and constrained national tertiary education budget renders public funding of private training establishments economically inefficient and educationally unsound. Continued public funding of PTEs has resulted in duplication of provision, inefficient use of limited resources, and the establishment of providers that lack economic and educational viability… Continued public funding of private training establishments may eventually lead to the erosion of our national system of public tertiary education institutions. First and foremost therefore the TEU will always advocate for public funding to be allocated to public tertiary education institutions."
One of the main priorities in Te Kaupapa Whaioranga – the TEU's current Blueprint for Tertiary Education – is "spending public, taxpayer funding on public education not private companies." Literally, recommendation 1.1 states the Government should focus on "ensuring taxpayer funding goes to publicly owned tertiary education providers." The 2011 policy bluntly stated "the TEU does not support public funding for private training establishments" and, while the 2013 version is slightly more nuanced, that appears to remain the ultimate policy aim.
If implemented, this policy would send a message to 75,079 PTE domestic learners and 11,994 international students (in 2013) that "you chose your education provider incorrectly and will therefore receive no Government support for your studies." The message to thousands of PTE staff would be "sorry, maybe you should apply for a job at the Polytech where the roll is declining." In reality, the Government provides relatively modest support for PTEs (given the $4 billion plus tertiary education budget) and in return receives a generally strong return on their investment.
There are three key assertions in the TEU's position which I wish to dispute. They assert that PTEs are "economically inefficient." I believe the opposite is the case. PTEs are often required to provide the same (or better) education for less funding support. The funding rates have traditionally been lower and PTEs have not had access to large numbers of supporting funding pools or capital funding. ITI is keen to document this and later in the year we hope to publish research confirming that PTEs provide genuine value for money for the Government.
The second TEU assertion is that PTEs are educationally unsound. Putting aside the huge professional insult to all PTE staff, including, we are told, some TEU members, this cannot be allowed to stand. PTEs perform strongly in the universal Educational Performance Indicators (EPI) and our results compare favourably to public providers. PTEs are also subject to NZQA's External Evaluation and Review (EER) process, TEC's Financial Viability checks, as well as registration and accreditation processes. PTEs are a heavily scrutinised and quality assured sector. Many of these requirements do not apply to public providers.
Finally, there is the claim that "continued public funding of private training establishments may eventually lead to the erosion of our national system of public tertiary education institutions." This massively over-states the amount of taxpayer money which goes to PTEs. Any money "saved" from disestablishing PTEs would be quickly swallowed up in the public education system and I doubt it would make much impact for providers, far less students.
Additionally, we consider the diversity of PTEs to be a strength – they are able to work in specialist fields of study and provide a range of learning environments. Small class sizes and practical training are also positive in many fields. These are all reasons why PTEs are consistently ranked highly by employers in Business NZ surveys.
In the next post I will examine the realities of the new contestable funding process for Level One and Level Two qualifications and debunk the deliberate myth that funding has been cut.

This guest post is from Feroz Ali, Chair of Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI). ED Blog welcomes guest contributions.
In Budget 2014, the Minister for Tertiary Education, Steven Joyce, confirmed that private providers would be funded at the same level as public providers for delivering the same courses. There had previously been a gap, sometimes significant, in the funding rates and Minister Joyce worked carefully over several Budgets to remove this discrimination.
The move was understandably welcomed by the Private Training Establishment (PTE) sector as it eliminated an inequality which was created largely for ideological reasons. Private institutions feel it is fair that students receive an equal amount of Government support for their education. The focus should be outcomes for the learners, communities and employers – not the ownership status of the institution.
Not everyone was quite so happy. Perhaps the most vociferous group criticising the PTE sector is the Tertiary Education Union (TEU) which represents a number of staff at tertiary institutions, including some PTEs. In a series of opinion pieces, I'm going to tackle a few myths about private tertiary education which are perpetuated by the TEU.
In this piece, I'm going to look at the TEU's view of the PTE sector and private education. I take issue with their characterisation of the sector being "for profit" and their central assertion that private ownership and/or commercial activities are incompatible with quality tertiary education.
The TEU usually refers to PTEs as "private for profit companies", "private companies who make a profit off students" or even "private companies that want to make a profit from selling education." While TEU does occasionally concede there "there are some great PTEs in New Zealand and some great staff working in them," these glimmers of praise are almost always followed by a "but" or a caveat which shows what they really think about PTEs in general. The language is hostile and loaded.
Private tertiary education is described by the TEU as "ensuring profit for business owners or shareholders," and as shareholders trading education "back and forth in the hope of making a profit." Sandra Grey argues most PTEs are companies which "believe education is a service to be bought and sold for a profit."
I take great issue with that characterisation. Firstly, not all PTEs are companies or for-profit so the assertion is immediately false. There is a wide range of ownership structures in our sector including charitable trusts, community trusts, not-for-profit organisations and charities. These non-commercial providers are sometimes acknowledged by the TEU who seems prepared to give them 'honorary' public education status, presuming they don't get in the way of public providers. Their "place" in the TEU scheme of things is described as "supporting the public education system."
Secondly, even in commercial operations it is important to remember that PTEs are first and foremost educational providers. Some certainly look to make a modest profit but running a PTE is not an easy way to make money. People run PTEs and work in PTEs because of what they achieve for learners, the community and employers. This involves working efficiently, in a similar way to universities and polytechnics that have to ensure their books stay in the black and they meet the requirement to run a surplus.
TEU head Lesley Francey is adamant that private tertiary education "cannot and must not replace the public system." I would agree. I think everyone would. The diversity of our tertiary education sector is a strength. There is absolutely no suggestion from the private sector to take over – even if such a move was actually possible. However, the TEU sees a deliberate Government policy "directly transferring both students and public money out of high quality public institutions, and into private companies." We see a Government supporting student choice and educational success, wherever it occurs.
The main problem the TEU has with PTEs is that they seem to believe the private or commercial model is fundamentally incompatible with education. By definition, they believe no PTE can deliver education to the same standard as public tertiary education. In their submission opposing changes to university governance, the position is laid bare:
"Those working in the tertiary education sector understand that tertiary education institutions have distinctive characteristics that differentiate them from organisations in the private or commercial sector, such as the need to maintain close relationships with the communities they serve…"
I disagree with this claim. Private providers have a strong record of building close relationships with communities and with industry. Not only is this the best way to raise educational performance, but PTEs have to remain connected and relevant because, unlike public providers, we can be allowed to fail. The Government will not bail us out of any predicament. Relationships are critical for PTEs and they have every incentive to perform.
Next time I will examine the issue of Government funding for PTEs, including new contestable funding at the foundation level which has caused some controversy.

Sorry for the click-bait headline, but this 40m by 11m mural deserved it J I saw this great mural at NZ Management Academies' Sylvia Park campus when I visited recently. Back in April ITI put a story on their newsletter about it and then I found the video of the mural's creation. It's just the thing for Friday viewing.

There have been three claims of conflicts of interest over the last week, each with quite different contexts. It seems people are getting a bit free with their accusations, but practice could be improved.
The weakest allegation related to Otago Uni's sponsorship of the Highlanders rugby team. 2 of the 3 people on the standing committee that approved the sponsorship had links to rugby (they were the Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor). One used to chair the Highlanders (but left in 2009) and one was on the trust that built the new Dunedin stadium (he also left in 2009). Quite rightly, the Uni said there was no conflict of interest, as there are no current (or recent) interests. One of the two has had no formal relationship with the team for 5 years, and the other never had one.
Otago Uni has an Ethical Behaviour Policy that applies to the council "where the personal, academic or financial interests of an individual improperly affect or could improperly affect" their duties within the Uni. It would be a stretch to say that either of the council members had any interests here (as defined in the policy).
A TEU rep, Shaun Scott, was quoted as saying that it created a "perception" issue, and he's right. It would probably have looked better if others had been involved in the decision, but overall it's a beat-up by the ODT (and the Sunday Star-Times).
The second set of allegations was in an article that suggested that AgResearch board members (and a whole bunch of others) were conflicted over restructuring decisions. In relation to tertiary education, the article noted that:
Oddly, the article omitted the fact that the AgResearch board included the Hamilton City Council CE (the AgResearch campus in his city will be downgraded). If he voted for a decision that disadvantaged his other interests, maybe it was just a reasonable decision… Overall, the article threw around accusations, but didn't provide any smoking guns.
The strongest case for conflicts of interest (if still minor) was over academics assigning their own textbooks for their classes, as covered this week by Otago Uni's student paper Critic. Key quotes are noted below.
The University does not have a policy regarding when a lecturer has a vested interest in the suggested or required textbooks for their paper. Professor Vernon Squire, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International) explained that, despite the lack of direct policy, each new paper at the University must pass a "rigorous approval process,"…
Nanette Cormack, Deputy Secretary of the Tertiary Education Union, says, "I would have thought that the institutions would have policies that resources recommended to students would be checked." Cormack believes that as long as someone else in the department is checking over the materials recommended to the students, she does not see it as a conflict of interest. She says that given the "nature of expertise within New Zealand Universities," it may well be that the academic staff are the experts in their field, making it "quite appropriate" to recommend their own text.
Otago's department of physics had several lecturers involved with writing an Introduction to Biological Physics for the Health and Life Sciences. … Head of the Physics Department, Associate Professor Pat Langhorne, says "it was never seen as a money maker" and that there is often a reason lecturers will work on writing textbooks. She explains that lecturers were spending an extensive amount of time writing more comprehensive notes for their students "because no textbook was on the market that fitted [the course]," …
Associate Professor Kenneth Deans is one of the authors of the recommended texts for a 100-level Marketing Management paper. Deans receives the profits, explaining he doesn't write the book on university paid time, and "I am taxed on it." He says the financial benefits are "no more than a couple of days of consultancy." He sees it irrelevant that he authored the book because whether a student buys his book over another book, "it's still an added cost [for the student]."
While the DVC mentioned that there wasn't a relevant policy, the Uni's general Ethical Behaviour Policy provides a clear guide in my view (see s.3). If an academic financially benefits from textbook sales after they assigned a text (as some have admitted above), then there's a clear risk that it could, or did, improperly affect their duties within the University.
Usefully, Otago Uni's Policy has a straightforward response, requiring non-conflicted superiors to be advised, and a clearly documented decision to be taken. That gets things out in the open and, in most cases, would probably lead to the same decision being made (ie assigning the academic's book).
What strikes me most about the Otago Uni situation though is the confusion. The DVC didn't cite a policy, and two academics seemed unaware of the potential conflicts of interest. The TEU's Nanette Cormack, however, had a sensible suggestion that pretty much mirrored Otago Uni's policy.
Given the council and staff issues in this post, it's probably a good time for a memo to go round Otago Uni about managing interests. The main lesson for me though is that accusations of conflicts of interest are more common this week than the conflicts themselves.
ED Blog is changing and will be providing views on tertiary education, rather than a roundup of news links. Most posts will be shorter than this one!
May 23rd 2014 at 8:31am, By ED Staff
This is the last edition of the ED Blog news post – from Monday we will be running a similar email as part of our ED Insider service. If you would like a free 2-week trial of ED Insider, contact us for details. Over 70 organisations and over 1,110 people currently use ED Insider in the tertiary education sector, and we'd love to have you join us too.
ED Blog will develop in a different direction. It will become more like a blog again, focusing on interesting tertiary education ideas and events in NZ and offshore. We will probably publish new posts around the middle of the day and there may be 2-4 posts a week. The frequency of the news posts has limited what else we can do, so we're looking forward to the change.
Thanks again for your loyalty over the last 52 months of the free news post service – it's been a good ride!
