We deserve a better class of scoundrel

Ian Dunt wrote this about politicians:

If we can’t have ethics, we are least entitled to a bit of class. Politicians who attempt to deceive the public will obviously lose our admiration, but it would be nice if they could bring a little style and accomplishment to doing so.

Staff and students at UK universities probably (and almost certainly rightly) think the same about vice chancellors and principals.
