Chris Higgins reflects on university funding against the backdrop of the coalition¡¯s continuing cuts to education spending (¡°(Almost) all donations gratefully received¡±, ?June). He focuses on distinguishing between ethical and unethical funding by private individuals and institutions ¨C fair enough to the extent that the cash is needed to fund universities now, some might say. However, at least as much effort should be put into campaigning for a fully publicly funded academy. A tax on corporate banking transactions might be a start.
