Rather than berating students who clearly don't know the origin of the tuition fee structure, could we possibly point them towards our government for the direction of their ire?
It's truly wild that both overworked academics without enough resources, and students who feel abandoned by a neo-Liberal University model that only cares about their fees both have totally valid grievances, and instead of organising we turn against each other
18-20 year old undergrads would have been 8-10 when the tuition fee hike occurred. Was it on their radar? Maybe I'm doing them a disservice and being patronising, and they actually know a lot about how we arrived at the current fee structure but if not, we have a responsibility
