By Sonia AVALOS Buenos Aires (AFP) - Des centaines de milliers d'Argentins, étudiants au premier rang, ont manifesté mardi à Buenos Aires et en province contre la politique d'austérité du gouvernement ultralibéral de Javier Milei et "en défense de l'université publique gratuite", marches dénoncées comme "politiques" par l'exécutif. Dans la capitale, la mobilisation, probablement la plus importante depuis le début de la présidence Milei en décembre, a rassemblé "entre 100.000 et 150.000" personnes, selon une source policière, et un demi-million, selon l'Université de Buenos Aires (UBA). Un synd...

By Laurent BARTHELEMY Paris (AFP) - Le nouveau coup d’accélérateur demandé par Gabriel Attal sur les effectifs d'étudiants en médecine suscite des doutes dans le monde universitaire, qui souligne l'ampleur des moyens à utiliser et le risque d'une sur-réaction face aux besoins actuels. Aiguillonné par les difficultés d’accès aux soins des Français, le Premier ministre a annoncé il y a quelques jours qu’il voulait porter à 16.000 le nombre d’étudiants en deuxième année de médecine en 2027. Ce nombre a déjà progressé ces dernières années, avec presque 11.000 étudiants de 2e année aujourd'hui (apr...

Washington (AFP) - Since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, prestigious US universities have come under fire, accused of not doing enough to combat anti-Semitism. The controversy has already cost an Ivy League university president her job, and some observers warn that it could dent freedom of speech on campuses. Here's a look at the heated debate: Where do things stand? Asked to resign by lawmakers and donors after a tense hearing before Congress last week, Harvard President Claudine Gay escaped sanction when the institution's governing body said it maintained confidence in h...

Cambridge (United States) (AFP) - Students and professors at Harvard are feeling bruised but hoping for a return to calm after claims of anti-Semitism linked to fury over the war in Gaza ripped through the famous institution and other elite US universities. The historic campus in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was roiled in October by pro-Palestinian marches. The anger mirrored widespread concern among young, liberal American students over the civilian costs of Israel's war against Hamas after the militant group launched a bloody, surprise attack on October 7. However, the protests qui...

Princeton (United States) (AFP) - Many Gazans were hostile to Hamas ahead of the group's brutal October 7 attack on Israel, with some describing its rule as a second occupation, according to rare polling data analyzed by a US-Palestinian researcher. The findings are striking against a backdrop of protests and counter-protests triggered by the attack, with the relationship between Hamas and ordinary Gazans often the subject of heated debate. "We find in our surveys that 67 percent of Palestinians in Gaza had little or no trust in Hamas in that period right before the attacks," said Amaney Jamal...

New York (AFP) - With the Israel-Hamas conflict unleashing furious emotions, American universities have struggled to walk an almost impossibly narrow line: satisfying the demands of rich donors that they more clearly support Israel, while also respecting protesters' rights of free expression. Several wealthy Americans have threatened to withdraw their financial support from prestigious private schools like the Ivy League's Harvard University in Massachusetts, or the University of Pennsylvania, known as UPenn. The Wexner Foundation, which works to prepare young Jewish leaders in North America ...

Washington (AFP) - If the US Supreme Court had not overruled President Joe Biden's program to cancel billions of dollars in student debt, Satra D. Taylor, who borrowed $40,000 to complete her studies, could have seen that amount reduced by half. Now the 27-year-old -- who used the loan to study at the University of Michigan, supplementing a scholarship and other financial aid -- is back on the hook for the whole sum. "We created this unjust, inequitable, expensive, higher education system and so we need to redress it," she told AFP, standing before the high court. Biden's forgiveness program w...

Washington (AFP) - A young man accused of killing four university students in a stabbing rampage that shocked America declined to speak as he was arraigned Monday, leaving the judge to enter a plea of not guilty. Bryan Kohberger, 28, went before a judge in the small Idaho town of Moscow, where the killings took place in November in an attack that drew multiple theories from internet sleuths as to who did it. At the time Kohberger was studying for a doctorate degree in criminology at Washington State University, which is just miles away from Moscow. The charges against Kohberger are that he dro...

Washington (AFP) - The recent dismissal of an American professor, whose students said he graded too harshly, has ignited debate in the United States about universities that bend too much to the wishes of their students. Maitland Jones, who taught organic chemistry at New York University (NYU), was dismissed in August without a prior interview or clear explanation, leaving him "baffled," he told AFP. Eighty-two of his students signed a petition to complain about his grading, which they considered too harsh. "The students who wrote the petition were... not able to accept the fact that they were ...
