An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The recent news stories concerning Farage’s lifelong atrocious character are taking oxygen from the important fact that his life work has wrecked our society and economy.
Yes he’s an appalling arsehole and always has been. But let’s concentrate on his 30+ years career destroying our country.
