Who’s responsible?

Written by 

This old mutt is perturbed to hear of Lincoln University’s precarious financial state.

Apparently things are pretty bad, with rumblings that the famous agriculture university could be closed down in a year or so if things don’t turn around. It is unbelievable that this key agricultural learning institution has been allowed to get into such a state. Serious questions need to asked of those responsible for keeping an eye on such things – Lincoln’s governing body, its present and former chancellors and a number of ‘consultants’ who seem to have done extremely well out of Lincoln over the past few years, while the institution itself has been going down the financial gurgler.
