South Africa’s just-ousted Minister of Finance committed another R57 billion to higher education and training over the next three years. In his first (and last – he was removed from the portfolio less than a week later) budget speech, Malusi Gigaba followed through on former president Jacob Zuma’s controversial promise in December last year of fee-free higher education.

Six ways to bridge the gap between rich and poor at university
Theresa May’s year-long review of student funding offers a real opportunity to solve the big problems around tuition fees and financial support at UK universities. As part of our research on how young people from different places and backgrounds transition into university, we spoke with more than 180 young people from across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and each region […] … learn more→
How art merges with maths to explore continuity, change and exotic states
Imagine you could turn a hollow sphere completely inside out – without making a hole, without cutting the material, without making any creases.

Step 2: Find a community of people also afflicted by my hardship, whether online or off. Step 3: […] … learn more→
Why Trump’s idea to arm teachers may miss the mark
President Donald Trump’s proposal to arm teachers has sparked substantial public debate. As researchers of consumer culture and lead authors of a recent study of how Americans use and view firearms for self-defense, we argue that while carrying a gun may reduce the risk of being powerless during an attack, it also introduces substantial and overlooked risks to the carrier and […] … learn more→
White genocide advocate Professor resigns
It’s so weird how much hatred there is of white people on campuses nowadays, at least some campuses. I’ve addressed this before, but the main reason for it is the white-haters, once they reach critical mass, push out all the rest, leaving no room for anything on our campuses but hatred.
