USC Professor Discovers Gender And Racial Inequality In Tenure Grants
Dr. Mai’a K. Davis Cross, assistant Professor of International Relations, was denied tenure at the University of Southern California despite her outstanding accomplishments (see her list of accomplishments here.) In response, Cross is filing a federal grievance “challenging a pattern of gender and ethnic discrimination in USC’s tenure process.”
The big $1 billion renovation of USC’s University Village goes before the city council tomorrow. If the council approves the project, it’ll be at least another year before shovels strike the ground. All the while, business owners will be nervous.
Paul M. Davis, “Culture is Not a Crime: 10 Years of Creative Commons.”
“The future of the cultural commons looked dim in December 2002: Napster had been shuttered a year earlier, while record labels treaded warily into selling DRM-locked music online. The FCC dismantled regulations forestalling the consolidation of media ownership. And as the housing bubble inflated, privatization — of media, public space, scientific and technological research, even the military — became the watchword of the day.”
