CHRONOLOGY ............................................................................ .339 V CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This is a grounded theory comparative analysis of the education philosophy and the press philosophy of Robert Maynard Hutchins, architect of the Hutchins Plan for higher education and chairman of the Hutchins Commission on Freedom of the Press. Background Hutchins was born in January 1899 in Brooklyn, New York. At Yale University, where he was named secretary of the Yale Corporation at age 28 and dean of the Yale Law School a year later, he began developing his vision of the purpose and structure of institutions of higher education. At the University of Chicago, where he was named president at age 30, he tried for 21 years to implement the Hutchins Plan, which called for severe alterations in structure, administration, procedures, curriculum, content and evaluation; he outlined the philosophies on which the Plan was built in The Higher Learning in America, published in 1936. A decade later, during a 1946-48 leave of absence from the University of Chicago, he directed the completion of reports by two panels he had created; the Committee to Frame a World Constitution called for renunciation of national sovereignty and global reorganization under the authority of a single world government, and the Commission on Freedom of the Press called for changes in the philosophy and operations of American mass 1 2 communications, as outlined in A Free and Responsible Press, the Commission Report edited by Hutchins in 1947. In 1951, he left the University of Chicago to join first the Ford Foundation, then the Fund for the Republic, and finally the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. Hutchins died in May 1977 at age 78 in Santa Barbara, California. Problem The Higher Learning in America (1936) remains an important part of the study of the history and philosophy of higher education, particularly in regard to current calls for a neoclassical and neohumanist curriculum, but absent from the literature of higher education is any in-depth consideration of Hutchins' press philosophy and how it

  • Costa Rica Is the Most Politically Stable Country with the Greatest Possibilities for Institutional Strengthening in Central America
    Proposal for a venue for the next ILGA World Conference Who presents it Mulabi/ Latin American Space for Sexualities and Rights Political context Costa Rica is the most politically stable country with the greatest possibilities for institutional strengthening in Central America. Although the fiscal deficit is considerable, its biodiversity and geography make it an attractive place for foreign investment and for migration from other neighboring countries with greater economic and political challenges. Costa Rica has a solid normative framework in matters of fundamental rights enshrined in its Political Constitution and in its adherence to international human rights treaties and conventions. Derived from these constitutional obligations, the state has developed public policies in sectors such as health and education and works to eliminate discrimination in the public sector and guarantee access to justice and decent work for the LGBTI population. Some of these examples are the latest decrees and guidelines signed by the President of the Republic that benefit the BGLT population, both national and migrant. The current president of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado, delves into his policy of inclusion of diversity. Last December, he recognized gender identity in residence cards and granted immigration status to binational couples. In addition, it facilitated access to housing bonds for same-sex couples. Last week, in a decree against homophobia published in the official gazette La Gaceta, the president proposed to extend the celebration of May 17 to include bisexual people as victims of biphobia, which were previously not contemplated. As of 2018, the governing government created the figure of the LGBTI Commissioner, an advisor belonging to the Executive Power and who will receive the reports of each Institution, as well as work on the pending issues in Human Rights of the LGBTI population in Costa Rica.

  • Robert Maynard Hutchins, 1899-1977
    The Yale Law Journal Volume 86, Number 8, July 1977 Robert Maynard Hutchins, 1899-1977 Herbert Brownellt Robert Maynard Hutchins, who died at Santa Barbara, California, on May 15, 1977, was Dean of the Yale Law School in 1928-29. He had served as Secretary of Yale University from 1923 to 1927. Upon his graduation from the Yale Law School in 1925, he joined the Law School's faculty as a Lecturer, a position he held from 1925 to 1927. He was Acting Dean of the Law School during the academic year 1927-28. Dean Hutchins was thirty years old when he left the Law School to become President and later Chancellor of the University of Chicago. Dean Hutchins' active leadership in the field of legal education during this brief span of years was notable for the innovations he sponsored in the Law School's curriculum and in particular for the establishment of the Institute of Human Relations. His erudition, his inquisitive mind, and his theories of proper relationships among law, economics, political science, and psychology left an indelible im- print upon the Yale Law School of his time. His initiatives, more- over, led to fruitful interdisciplinary research programs that have had lasting effects upon legal education in this country. The main endeavors of Dean Hutchins' career, and his publicly known achievements, came in later years while he was a founder, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, based in California. But many of the in- gredients of his brilliant intellectual success first came to light during his deanship at the Yale Law School.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: from the BELLY of the HUAC: the RED PROBES of HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philos
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

  • The Paper Vol. I No. 12
    as much a part of MSU as Wells Hall Ramparts v. MSU v. The CIA The University On The Run The statements from the various protagonists since last week's article ap­ peared in Ramparts magazine on MSU's 1955-1962 Vietnam advisory project have been, to say the least, Interesting and varied. Moreover, they have stimulated, at long last, a discussion of the type of educational project rep­ resented byMSU'slrole In Vietnam and of the various influences on the opera­ tion and outcome of such projects. To aid this discussion, "The Paper" contributes the following series of excerpts.—The Editors, Accusations that the MSU project was a CIA front are "ridiculous/* (Artnur) Brandstatter (chairman, School of Police Administration and Public Safety) sand. "I don't think anyone can make this statement/' **I can honestly say that I donotknow that there were any CIA people work­ ing there. Many people who were hired for their technical assistance were U.S. civil servants, including people from departments such as the Army, where their background may have included intelligence training." • • • Referring to implications in the article that MSU started its Vietnam project solely for the prestige involved, (Charles) Killingsworth (former chairman, Economics Department, now professor of labor and industrial relations) said: 44l can say with my own personal knowledge that President Hannah was not eager to take on this responsibility, and did so only at the request of the U.S. government." The Ad The State News Refused To Print Killingsworth said that he himself was not eager to take the trip to Vietnam.
