Recently Australia’s Tertiary Education Minister Chris Evan claims that Australian universities getting upset over the government’s plan to cut $499 million in research funding reflected an “elitist view of the world” (http://goo.gl/nI8hC). If you would like to let him know what you think of his views on research and university funds, you can contact him (as I have) here:
