@cstross @mrdalesmith This was true of universities too, but the combination of REF, TEF and capped tuition fees have done it, so we now have the rise of business school bollocks and the fall of modern languages, english, history etc. |
@davecl42 @mrdalesmith Indeed, but it should be possible to design circuit-breakers to prevent political meddling. The NHS is a case in point: despite *decades* of trying to corrode it, the Torie haven't quite succeeded in breaking it.
