1273115 2012-05-01 06:48:00 But I think it is well past time we declared an open season on our Universities and weeded out THIS (www.stuff.co.nz) crap! B.M. (505)

1273118 2012-05-01 08:03:00 And we pay for that crap. I have always said some degrees should be got rid of as being nothing to do with furthering yourself and more about having a laugh on the public purse gary67 (56)
1273119 2012-05-01 10:48:00 What a waste of ****ing money. QW. (15883)
1273120 2012-05-01 20:27:00 Yeah cos if we don't challenge our boundaries and look "outside the box" then it'll be a really different evolving society won't it.good on him I say!! globe (11482)
1273121 2012-05-01 21:11:00 I have no problems with his study, just don't see the relevance of giving him a degree and 5 years of funding for it gary67 (56)
1273122 2012-05-02 00:14:00 Yep, he can study anything he likes, and waste as much money as he likes, as long as it’s his own money not mine.

Further, this is not an isolated case of Taxpayer money being wasted by Universities.

I wonder just how much exactly this study cost us Taxpayers? No doubt he has a Student Loan that will never be repaid because his study will never earn him an income.

If this is the best our Universities can do with our funding then it’s time to have a big sort out.

No doubt our intrepid leaders will cut back on Hospital Services and the like before they attack the waste in Universities. :mad:

1273123 2012-05-02 00:30:00 Oh look, just found this in the Herald:

Universities around the world compete keenly for recognition:

Universities around the world compete keenly for recognition. Each year, they therefore pay considerable attention to global rankings, including those published in the Times Higher Education supplement.

In recent years, this has not made pleasant reading. The University of Auckland, New Zealand's best, has fallen from 46th in 2006 to 82nd. In the same six years, our other universities have, if anything, fared worse; Massey, for example, has slumped from 213th to 329th.

Easy to see how and why isn't it?

1273124 2012-05-02 07:38:00 Don't you get it? I suspect he actually studied psychology or something similar and focused on hogans as part of that, and thesis probably dressed up by the media to make it seem like that was the actual degree . You really think there is a set of unit standards to base the study of hogans on ??

That's my thoughts on it anyway . . .
