Disagree with the idea that universities should be entirely or primarily funded by the state.
Ridiculous nonsense. This is a simple case of "gimme a hand out". Both authors attend Wits. So they want the best for themselves but are not prepared to pay for the best. Surprise, surprise...state funding is only a small portion of the budgets of universities like Wits. In order to offer quality education much more is needed. Someone must pay for that - but apparently these freeloaders do not want to contribute.
