The book Melbourne Uni wouldn't publish! On 13 July 1998, the publication committee of Melbourne Uni Press endorsed a collection of essays edited by Tony Coady for publication. On 27th July, the Board of the Press, chaired by the chief Executive of the new Melbourne University Private, rejected this recommendation. 'Why Universities Matter' was subsequently published elsewhere, and is now available from the New International Bookshop. It contains contributions from Judith Brett, Stuart MacIntyre, Raimond Gaita and others -- including an epilogue from Morag Fraser discussing the issues raised by MUP's decision to pull the book. The New International Bookshop and the Association for the Public University is hosting a discussion of matters arising from 'Why Universities Matter', with a panel featuring Stuart MacIntyre, John Jenkin and a representative of the NTEU. Sunday March 26th 2pm at the NIB. Call 9662 3744 for more info. Latest issue of Z magazine has arrived at the Bookshop, featuring: - multiple articles on the WTO, necessary reading for the anti-global capitalism campaign. - reflections on Seattle, Serbia and East Timor. - articles on eco-activism, feminism and the religious right.
