Another Swamp
I have a piece in today's Daily Mail, albeit not very seasonal. Universities have public responsibilities, especially when funded by the tax payer; they are not playpens where the children can do what they like. That also goes for where they take money from, a theme I plan to return too as soon as I have digested a new report by the Centre for Social Cohesion.
Happy Easter!
