Doesn't it depend on whether it's your own or not?

After the outcry in the press, it didn't run

Jebus! I thought the University of Slumberland was bad enough.

Love at the contact details at the bottom: -

Ian Jenkins,
Surf and Beach Management Pathway Director,
School of Leisure

You can just imaging what kind of dude this Ian character might be. You could probably score a bit of weed off him.

Makes you wonder how those surfer dudes manage at all, considering the basic Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics still hold many mysteries, such as the existence and smoothness problem

I saw that in yesterdays paper. Struck me that it is (or should be) a vocational course.

But then, they wouldn't be able to add to the statistics for putting kids through University...
