“many faculty members voiced concerns about …a ‘lack of proportionality between the relatively small percentage of the lost income versus the large 35% cut in [graduate] programs.’” Congratulations to admin. Give them lemons, by god they’ll make lemonade and then try to drown the humanities in it

I had a moment in a lecture yesterday, telling an anecdote about my time studying at Fudan in 2007. One of my students muttered "whoa" under his breath, and it made me stop and realize that this was eighteen years ago. Eighteen years. Damn.

Very sad. And infuriating that the proposal for a Webb Centre for Public Transparency to be hosted by HKU was rejected by the university's senior management, despite donors standing ready to fund its endowment.
