    Professor Draws Ire For Saying Students Should Work Hard And Avoid Drinking

    What a terrible thing to say! God forbid this should ever happen! Why should college students study? They are only there to party, drink, smoke pot, and have a good time.

    UK’s Cambridge University physical sciences professor came under fire this week from mental health campaigners and students after he suggested undergraduates will have to work hard and abstain from drinking to pass the course.

      I hope that he is a tenured professor because if he has tenure they can't fire him for saying or teaching controversial ideas. That, of course, is the original purpose of tenure. Of course it is now used to protect professors who are useless, obsolete or lazy or who want to do research instead of teach

          Hey, applaud those students -- in the competition of life, they'll be EASY for the rest of us to out-compete.

            It's so unfair that college students should actually have to WORK and STUDY. This is a 4 year excuse to drink, screw
            around and dope their minds out -- all the time majoring in something useful like "primitive cultures" or "urban studies".

            Then they wonder why they have to compete so hard to work for minimum wage and flip burgers when they graduate!
            Also paying back (or not) those tough student loans!

            Nobody wants to major in Engineering, Chemistry or something that requires WORK -- that wouldn't be any fun!
            Poor dears!

              Ohhhh! You used the "W" word! I'm gonna tell!

              Actually there IS a way for kids to work their way through college -- it's called the GI Bill. I think we should do away with student loans -- which only encourage colleges to raise their prices -- and replace it with the GI Bill -- and a regular audit of any college that accepts GI Bill students.
