Building a New World-class University
Jamil Salmi
In the past decade, the term 'world-class university' has become a catchphrase to describe research universities at the pinnacle of the tertiary education hierarchy, as measured by the various international rankings. Around the world, governments have responded to this global reputational competition with additional funding to promote their national elite universities, as illustrated by the various 'excellence initiatives' in countries as varied as China, Denmark, Germany, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea, Spain or Taiwan.
In some cases, the government has also encouraged its top universities to merge so as to achieve economies of scale and reach a better position to compete globally. A few countries have even decided to establish new universities from scratch, with the explicit purpose of creating world-class institutions.
Achieving the ambitious result of launching a high quality, new university is easier said than done, however, as building a world-class institution requires more than knee-jerk reactions to the rankings or a massive infusion of government money. This engagement is a complex and lengthy process that only recently has begun to receive careful attention. The following paragraphs outline the most common pitfalls encountered in some of the current projects that aim at establishing a new flagship institution.

Professional vs Ethical in Student Recruitment
Matthew Ulmer (Manager of Communications for IDP Education)
A goal of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) in the US is to ensure principled conduct among professionals in the recruitment of students. In support of this, and as more of their members enlist the services of international student recruiters, the association is currently considering revising and updating its Statement of Principles of Good Practice, or SPGP, in regard to agent use.
IDP Education supports such a revision. Specifically, we call for the association to acknowledge the role of officially recognised and contracted agencies, to affirm that their form of compensation is legal, and to provide colleges and universities the opportunity to define the practice as 'professional' versus 'ethical'.
For prospective students, the primary function of an agent is to serve as a guidance counsellor. Agents are typically university graduates who have built their reputations in the local markets by delivering good service.
They are counsellors in every sense and fill a market niche, as the admissions process overseas is often vastly different from the US model, and public high schools overseas provide little or no college counselling. These types of agents should therefore be viewed like independent counsellors and fall under NACAC's SPGP.

Islamic States: E-networking among Universities
Heads of university central libraries have recommended the establishment of a strategic alliance between the central libraries of universities in Islamic countries to help promote scientific research and teaching and improve computer literacy among students and teachers.
It would be created through the electronic networking of the member universities of Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World, FUIW.
The library heads also called for cooperation in the development of standardised bibliographical databases and indexes, ensuring the downloading of manuscripts and rare books, and providing technical services such as inter-borrowing, exchange and photocopying.
The recommendations were made during the first regional conference of the heads of the central libraries of the universities of the Islamic world held in Cairo, Egypt, in December under the theme "Towards a strategic alliance for building knowledge societies". More than 100 heads of libraries or their representatives attended from Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Niger, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
