So who really did most for university participation? We've blogged Labour's dire higher education policies many times (eg see here, here and here). In brief, they are spending £12bn pa in pursuit of an entirely arbitrary 50% participation target, producing massive dumbing down especially in lower division unis*, soaring drop-out rates, and wholesale overproduction of graduates with useless degrees. But alongside their general headlong expansion, they're also pursuing policies aimed at wideninThe Jim Bunch Eats! We have a graduation party! A cute little quiz contest?

A long time ago, I was stupid enough to enter my local university. There, I worked hard for a long time, both in the classroom and on the campus daily, and emerged some years later with something called a "journalism degree." After graduation, I -- along with a great many similarly deluded young people -- went to work for American newspapers. Some of us became reporters. Others, copy editors. Some of us have been both . . . and other things in the media world, as well. Generally, we all workeA Word From Dr. Richard B. Gaffin, Jr.
