Mike's Minute: Bring back the worth of a uni degree

Can I thank Mike Grimshaw for saying what he said?

Mike is at the University of Canterbury, a university by the way with a very good reputation, according to the vast swathes of late teens we currently deal with in our lives. There is great demand among students from all over the country

Anyway, Mike is an associate professor and wants university to return to elitism.

Bob Jones: The decline (collapse?) of meaningful University degrees

Two decades back I wrote “Degrees For Everyone”, a comic novel on the collapse of universities as centres of academia.

Since then university degrees (excluding the sciences, philosophy et al) have become an even bigger joke.
