Web portal Sørlandsporten makes Norwegian university post journals searchable

The web portal Sørlandsporten, run by the regional newspaper Fædrelandsvennen including by my good friend, journalist Tarjei Leer-Salvesen, which presents itself as a "openness portal", has now made post journals at Norway's universities (including that of my university, University of Stavanger) searchable. I applaud this initiative.

Debate text on transparency published on webpage of UiS

I have taken part in a debate online, on the webpage of University of Stavanger, on the topic "Vald eller tilsett rektor?" [Elected or employed rector?], which was started by permanent member of the board of UiS Bjørn Kvalsvik Nicolaysen, by writing a text entitled "Eksempel på manglende åpenhet" [Example of lacking transparency] (text no. 11) which was published Friday February 21st.

The full text of this brief debate text has also been posted in my Norwegian language blog Utopisk Realisme.
