University challenge

I COMMEND Fergus Finlay’s column headlined ‘University chiefs are creaming it off while students fear fee hikes’ (September 21).

It is a grave breach of public trust and brings our universities into disrepute. Or rather, it brings that small minority of avaricious academics into disrepute.

Clearly, we must reform the system of public accountability in our universities.
