U.S. Supreme Court's Tie Vote Affirms Lower Court Decision in Favor of CTA!
In a 4-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a judgment March 29 affirming the lower court ruling in favor of CTA in the Friedrichs v. CTA lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of fair share fees. The loss of fair share would have hurt working families by silencing the collective voice of faculty and other union members. In a media statement, NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia said, "The U.S. Supreme Court today rejected a political ploy to silence public employees like teachers, school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, higher education faculty and other educators to work together to shape their profession."
Board of Governors Votes to Replace ACCJ
The California Community Colleges Board of Governors will seek a new accreditor to replace the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), which has come under fire from faculty organizations throughout the state. During the transition period – anticipated to take a few years – the board expects the ACCJC to make improvements in its current process. "We have moved from fear and intimidation to empowerment. This is a testament to democracy, where all segments of the community college system worked together to bring about change, change which will above all benefit our students," said CCA President Lynette Nyaggah.

评论：希拉莉 vs 川普：對華政策怎麼看？ |
|
|
认为“有希望獲得民主黨提名的希拉莉，儘管還沒有系統闡述她的對華政策”的作者就敢写题为《希拉莉 vs 川普：對華政策怎麼看？》的文章，“治学”不够严谨了吧。
作者分析觉得希拉里应该“耿耿于怀”的两件事也很有花拳绣腿范：
1. “希拉莉出席聯合國第四屆世界婦女大會，中國傳媒一個字都不寫”。原因居然是开幕之后的希氏“直言「女權即人權」”。试问：中国政府在大会开幕前就知道讲话内容了吗？
2. 希拉莉的回憶錄《活出歷史》（Living History，大陸譯成《親歷歷史》）。。。。”此事後來如何不知，但希拉莉一定是念念不忘“。发生的事不知道，脑子里的意念却言之凿凿。
作者要支持民主党希拉里，但说无妨。不要故作中立状，欲盖弥章。
（希望教授专家网转达给作者） |

Asian Studies has attracted the attention of scholars worldwide, who are in urgent need of China's latest researches and academic findings. Under the circumstances, it is imperative that China’s top academic journals be translated into English and published bilingually. It will help overseas readers to use their native or familiar language in China studies and improve their researching efficiency, meanwhile help the East Asian libraries to expand their services in short time.
Journal Translation Project (JTP), launched by CNKI in 2012, will finally come on the stage of AAS with great performance. After three years’ development, JTP has grown much stronger and more mature. With respect to journal and article selection, it presents international research findings from top Chinese scholars based on scientific big-data analysis and professional evaluation. As for the translation, all the articles are translated by overseas scholars with excellent academic background and proficiency in Chinese-English translation, and polished by native speakers in the position of assistant (or higher) professor. Concerning the product design, it adopts the most advanced XML technology in an international style, which will optimize the user experience for scholars.
We are more than honored to have chief editors of these journals, translators, quality control experts and designers with us in the seminar and exchange ideas on the bilingual publishing of Asian Studies journals.

Australia has one of the best aged care systems in the world. There are many different types of aged care services available, many of which are government-funded.
