I leave a meeting where union representatives tell us about their position in negotiating the "statute of PDI, a document which seek to collect the rights and duties of university teachers.
Last night I had the opportunity to attend live event , a little media, in which three gurus of science (so called today Diario de Navarra ) ramble on a bit about where we are today and where we might go with nanotechnology. There were also interesting drifts on the social responsibility of researchers (subject of concern for the Nobel Prize Harold Kroto) on the social role of science or the ridiculousness of unscientific teaching issues (such as creationism or intelligent design USA). Scientifically not entered into almost any detail, but it was very entertaining. With a sympathetic tone, very in tune with the public and answer them without losing rigor motley questions or interest.
The clash between the two views was too much for me. Will be true about the multiverse and both events have taken place in parallel universes.
From a trade union view is good teaching career split (and officials) in 6 stages, having to "consider" in all cases. These reviews should include every conceivable aspect to which it may legitimately give a teacher, and be considered algorithmically, even to the self. We must greatly facilitate internal promotion, and hinder mobility, both between universities and between them and the company ("the end of the civil servants are" sic). So it is assumed that others are called inbreeding since the public has asked that what they are for the entrance examinations if you are already enabled. Anyway, now I understand and share much more J. article Adolfo de Azcarraga in El Pais few days ago. In fact I'm tempted to join the signatories (over 1600 now) of manifesto against the status of PDI , if it were not I am radically opposed to the motions of censure purely destructive; gladly sign an alternative text, but of course for that you need to write first.
By definition faculty are scientists, each discipline (although one of them is a little confusing the term). I can not imagine how the application of a statute like the one intended (or any other document that shares the same "values") could lead to people like the speakers last night. That vision misunderstood union protects mediocrity (which in itself is not bad) by way of attack and discourage excellence. In this way we will not award Kroto Nobel as Harld out of our universities, let alone being hired after receiving the award.
Incidentally, it should care very little even to our academic authorities, because no one appeared at the public yesterday, or any other, nor the summary of press UPNA relevant that a Nobel Prize visit our university ... Where will your priorities our current leaders?
