Who’s responsible?

Apparently things are pretty bad, with rumblings that the famous agriculture university could be closed down in a year or so if things don’t turn around. It is unbelievable that this key agricultural learning institution has been allowed to get into such a state. Serious questions need to asked of those responsible for keeping an eye on such things – Lincoln’s governing body, its present and former chancellors and a number of ‘consultants’ who seem to have done extremely well out of Lincoln over the past few years, while the institution itself has been going down the financial gurgler.
