Cambridge... really?

I wonder what the pay for folk higher-up the Cambridge ladder is? I mean, I don't see many Vice-Chancellors with the same money problems.

Turn them all back into monks with vows of poverty. Especially the folk at the top. Or maybe be a bit more reasonable.

I'd love some of those Dons, Chancellors, and those with tenure to be forced into Chastity, Abstinence, and Poverty; just like all the Junior lecturers and teachers at Cambridge U who haven't got private incomes.

About time there was a bit of a row about this. And about time that folk from abroad were appraised of this circumstance before investing in their kid's tertiary education.

We value education so much in this country that we are happy to let our teachers starve.

Bloody hell, that's appalling.

What do the powers-that-be think this is going to lead to in 15 years time?

Oh, right. They actually don't care.
