Talk about favouring the rich much! The end result is that uni is full of kids who are either working almost full time just to survive, or full fee paying students with an entitlement complex. My old uni had a fine reuptation for passing full fee paying students irregardless of their actual results. In its defense, it needed the cash; it's one of the lowest government-funded unis in the country.<BR/><BR/>Higher education is a total mess.

And to think, we used to whinge about paying the $400-500 or so union fees when I did my degrees.Ian Pyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524850743917264466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17073741.post-1153298001625369622006-07-19T18:33:00.000+10:002006-07-19T18:33:00.000+10:00Love your blog and and your Chickollage one too .....Love your blog and and your Chickollage one too ... collage poetry is sooooo alive isn't it?
