...employs 325 lecturers and preceptors throughout its departments. Employing faculty with short-term contracts allows universities to more easily change teachers and the courses offered to meet their needs, Casey said. “Most of our non-tenured positions are brought in to support upper faculty and to enrich and deepen course offerings,” he said. Curtis said the expansion of contingent faculty was a source of concern. Non-tenure-track faculty, including graduate students, often don’t have as much time to devote to students. And their students can have difficulty finding mentors...
...telephone call in which an Iranian general expresses exasperation at questions about a program that he says stopped years before.) But while asserting that Iran may no longer have a weapons program, the new report also stresses that Iran is continuing to try to develop the technique to enrich uranium on a massive scale and that it could, theoretically, manufacture enough highly enriched uranium, or HEU, to build a bomb "during the 2010-15 time frame." (Iran says it is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes to use in energy production and does not intend to make...
...Bush's warning makes clear that the red line, for his Administration, is not an Iranian bomb program per se, but rather Iran's attaining "the knowledge necessary to make" such a weapon - by which he means mastering the technology of uranium enrichment. Enriched uranium is a key component (although hardly sufficient, by itself) for a nuclear weapon. But enriching uranium, to a far lower degree, is also an integral part of any civilian nuclear energy program - and, it's entirely legal for any signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in good standing to enrich uranium under IAEA monitoring...
There was something for everyone in last week's IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program. For the bomb-Iran hawks, there was confirmation that Iran continues to enrich uranium despite the limited sanctions of the U.N. Security Council. For Iran's leaders there was confirmation of their cooperation with nuclear inspectors and of the fact that they have not diverted nuclear material for bomb-making purposes. And for advocates of continued diplomacy there was sufficient evidence of Iranian cooperation, and insufficient evidence of any immediate peril, to justify further negotiations...
...Although proposals for Iran to use nuclear fuel enriched outside its borders are not new, Ahmedinajad's response will certainly raise hopes of a new Iranian flexibility. But Iranian officials have previously indicated that Iran would demand that it be allowed to retain the current research-scale enrichment facilities that are at the heart of the dispute. And it's not hard to see why that would be unacceptable to the U.S. "The amount of enrichment capacity you need to feed a nuclear reactor for energy purposes is actually far greater than what you need to make one bomb...
