Student complaints.

Student complaints about universities have risen by a third in the last year and will rocket next year when tuition fees rises up again, The student complains because the academics are little but politicians; out for their own best interests. Of interest is that the largest volume of complaints comes from postgraduates, international students and mature students. Why would this be, is it that these types are looking for an education but what actually come to light hardly look like anything close.

Having been to one of the best Universities in the country I can safely say that higher education is a scam, at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In some cases the lecturers were giving lectures that were 10 years old, and this was in a rapidly changing field like Engineering. But worse is postgraduate research, where one can be screamed at, bullied and the like, by these expert academics. All the institution will do is sideline the student and do everything in its power to extend their internal complaints procedures, seemingly hoping the student will give up.

People would be surprised if they could see what goes on in these academic institutions. It is mostly playground politics and protecting the Institution. Very little in higher education is intended for the student, they are simply a commodity to keep the establishment safe for when retirement looms.
