Why Harvard Should Not Welcome Felipe Calderón, Marion Lloyd

In offering Felipe Calderón a yearlong fellowship, Harvard´s Kennedy School is overlooking the raft of charges against the former Mexican president and his government for human rights violations in the drug war. It´s a dangerous message.
The Dangers Of Mexico´S Student Loan Program, Marion W. Lloyd
The Dangers Of Mexico´S Student Loan Program, Marion W. Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
In unveiling Mexico´s first nationwide, federal student loan program in January 2012, President Felipe Calderón cited the “success” of similar programs in the United States, Chile, Colombia and Great Britain in democratizing access to higher education and boosting enrollment. However, the president did not mention that those programs have led to staggering levels of student debt in all those countries and fueled recent mass protests against the student loan model. Calderón also failed to mention that the terms of the Mexican program are among the most onerous in the world, including 10%-plus interest rates and short-term payment periods.

La Mea Culpa De Los Ranqueadores, Marion Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
In the wake of the conference Latin American Universities and the International Rankings: Impact, Scope and Limits (Las Universidades Latinoamericanas ante los Rankings Internacionales: Impactos, Alcances y Límites), the representatives of several of the principle ranking agencies wrote publicly criticizing the misuse of their own classification systems by governments and policy-makers.
La Guerra De Las For-Profit, Marion Lloyd
La Guerra De Las For-Profit, Marion Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
Su definición fiscal lo dice todo: universidades con fines de lucro. Así que no debe de sorprender el empeño con que estas instituciones persiguen ganancias, que rebasaron los 20 mil millones de dólares el año pasado en Estados Unidos. Pero sí sorprende —y ofende— el grado de complicidad que existe entre la industria de educación superior for-profit y los congresistas en Washington, sobre todos los republicanos. Juntos, buscan bloquear los intentos por parte del Presidente Obama de frenar los bien documentados problemas y abusos del sector; éstos incluyen tácticas poco éticas de reclutamiento, el bajo nivel de muchos de sus …

Ignoring protests in countries around the world against skyrocketing student debt, Mexican President, Felipe Calderón announced the country´s first federally backed student-loan program, citing those countries as examples. It´s a cynical proposition.

¿Créditos Educativos En México? ¡No! 1, Marion Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
Mexico´s first federal student loan program, unveiled amid much fanfare in January 2012, has sparked major criticism for a host of reasons, including: its onerous terms (including 10%-plus interest rates), its violation of the constitutional ban on public funding for religious instruction; its failure to acknowledge the deleterious effects in terms of skyrocketing student loans resulting from similar programs in countries around the world, among other issues. This article reproduces a series of presentations by higher education researchers at UNAM and other universities in Mexico, which argue the dangers of the student loan model in its current form.
Las Políticas De Fomento A La Ciencia Y Tecnología En México Y Brasil: Un Estudio De Caso De La Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México Y La Universidad De São Paulo, Marion Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
The thesis analyzes the science and technology policies in Mexico and Brazil from the 1930s to the present and their impact on the character, missions and scientific production of Latin America´s two leading universities: the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the University of Sao Paulo (USP). The author concludes that major differences in those polices, as well as in higher education policies in both countries, largely explain the vastly different character of the two institutions. While Brazil has pursued ambitious, long-term S&T policies since the 1930s, and more intensively since the late 1960s, Mexico has largely paid lip …
