Download David Kirp on Higher Education The University of California erupted in protest this week after its Board of Regents announced that student fees—the University’s equivalent of tuition—would be raised by 32 percent. Hundreds of students protested the fee hikes, according to the New York Times, some barricading themselves in university buildings, setting up tent cities on campus, and 12 UCLA students have been arrested. The University of California’s move is simply the latest in a long-standing trend of disinvestment in higher education. For the latest episode of the UtneCast, I spoke with David Kirp, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy and the author of the book Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education, to talk about how the compact between universities and state governments has broken down. The current recession is making the situation worse, but there is no guarantee that higher education will improve with the economy. In fact, the United States is in danger of losing out on the “education for all” philosophy that may be the most important economic driver in the world economy.

This week, Animal Voices takes the show on the road to bring you a behind-the-scenes audio journey into the Peace Day celebrations at the Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary, sponsored by the Jane Goodall Institute. We get a rare listen into the sounds of the sanctuary (which is normally not open to the public), as Founder Sherri Delaney takes us through the sanctuary's various rooms and tells us about the day-to-day operation. We also hear from other volunteers who give us specific details about the primates that live there, including their likes, dislikes, and particularities. Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary provide a safe and permanent home for primates retiring from biomedical research, zoos, universities & private residences, or wherever there is a primate in need of a permanent home.

After seeing the movie An Inconvient Truth we went on a couple of summer trips looking for solutions to the environmental problems we face as a society. There are opportunities for change within the many crisises that we face. The challenge is to have the courage to face the reality of the situation without getting totally depressed so that you can maintain a vision of hope and possibility. We attended the Maine Social Forum where we interviewed Deborah Koons Garcia who directed the film The Future of Food, which investigates the controversy surrounding genetically modified food. The film's trailer provides an overview of some the political issues covered in the film, and the scariest fact is that there is no obligation for food to be labeled for whether or not it contains genetically engineered ingredients. After we saw the film, we decided to start exlusively eating organic food. We highly recommend seeing the film, and you can also watch our 9-minute interview with the director for more information.
