Kitchen sink drama

I wrote a few weeks ago criticising Laurie Taylor's disregard for those places of higher education which were once polytechnics.

I have read more recent columns with real pleasure, but note that the City University of Poppleton remains unmentioned. Has it been awarded membership of the Soup Kitchen Group (THES, October 14)?
