Chilean voters reject conservative constitution, after defeating leftist charter last year

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:05:35 GMT

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Voters rejected on Sunday a proposed conservative constitution to replace Chile’s dictatorship-era charter, showing both the deep division in the South American country and the inability of political sectors to address people’s demands for change made four years ago.With nearly all votes counted late Sunday, about 55.8% had voted “no” to the new charter, with about 44.2% in favor.The vote came more than a year after Chileans resoundingly rejected a proposed constitution written by a left-leaning convention and one that many characterized as one of the world’s most progressive charters.The new document, largely written by conservative councilors, was more conservative than the one it had sought to replace, because it would have deepened free-market principles, reduced state intervention and might have limited some women’s rights. The process to write a new constitution began after 2019 street protests, when thousands of people complained about inequality ...

Grinstein: Professors must fix our broken academic system

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:05:35 GMT

I am entering the classroom for the first day of the semester in my Marketing and Society course, a course I developed to discuss the dark side of marketing but also its value for social change. And as I am a white male, I am wondering whether my students think: “Hmmm… can this guy teach us about society’s greatest problems including gender and racial bias? Will he allow for diverse voices to be heard in class?” Also, in this course that discusses controversial topics such as gun control and abortion, do students feel comfortable to challenge “politically correct” views? Challenge the view of others or the professor?American universities face a crisis. For some, the crisis is associated with the surge in antisemitism or islamophobia. For others it is about universities becoming too “woke” or not progressive enough.  These are all symptoms. The deeper problem is that we have let identity politics get the better of us. This has limited our ability to train students effectively. ...
