Literally nobody has ever chosen a university because they liked the look of the senior management. It’s about time these people explained in detail what they do with the cash they abstract from the fees received.

For instance, my VC soaks up the fees of c.35 students per year.

I’m sure you all know Tony Benn's Five Questions To Ask The Powerful. They protect democracy.

Given how famous they are, it’s surprising how much worse we’ve got at asking them

@Pam_Frampton Love it.

I just can't see it making it up the hill o chips though, especially in the snow.

MASSIVE CONGRATS to Rebecca Abrams and Alice Jolly, who’ve won their landmark case against Oxford for sticking them on over a decade’s worth of sham contracts. @UniofOxford, we’re watching: these practices won’t go ignored any more. https://t.co/wJdOVSKTqR

PAs at Reading only need 40% to pass their exams and 30% to pass a module. Some of finals exams questions posted online could be passed by most members of the public.

In my professional career I have never seen such mediocre standards to "pass" exams.

This is not about being "kind" or being "part of the team" - this is about mediocrity and low standards and the risk to patient safety .

Patients deserve better and should expect better of their healthcare professionals.
