Ex-MP Gould in NZ house attack

Article Abstract:

The Waikato University and former Labour member of parliament, Professor Bryan Gould, have been accused of misusing university funds for the renovation of the property which houses Gould and his family. Gould suspects that these criticisms have been delivered by students as an ulterior political attack against his tertiary education funding policy, and is determined to continue with his work at the university. The renovation work is costing approximately 35,000 pounds sterling, and represents five years maintenance work.

Alumni dig deep as era of donation replaces funding from taxation

Article Abstract:

Oxford University's Lady Margaret Hall (LMH) is among those UK universities actively pursuing donations from former students as a means of raising capital. LMH has high academic achievements and requires extra funding of at least 500 pounds sterling per student per year. Existing students spend their evenings canvassing for funds from alumnae aged over 35, which comprises only females as the college was previously for women only. Alumunae are generally willing to donate.

New Zealand suffers funding cuts

Article Abstract:

The New Zealand government has increased funding to allow expansion of student numbers in higher education. To pay for the increase cuts have been made to budgets for those at college now, and colleges are expected to be more efficient to make up the shortfall. Students taking arts, social science and other courses will be particularly affected as the government has cut funding for these subjects. Both academics and students are outraged at the cuts.
