Our Campuses Cannot Afford to Lose Their Moral Compass
Our Campuses Cannot Afford to Lose Their Moral Compass
The true measure of a university is not the number of degrees it awards or its position in national rankings. Its real worth lies in the integrity it upholds, the values it nurtures, and the public trust it commands. When individuals facing serious criminal allegations or charges of academic misconduct are protected or promoted within university administrations, the issue extends far beyond individual appointments. It strikes at the very heart of institutional ethics and raises uncomfortable questions about the direction in which higher education is headed.

How Resumption of U.S.-Iran War Shatters Global Economy
The collapse of the brief, 60-day interim maritime peace window and the sudden return to all-out conflict between the United States and Iran have shattered any remaining illusions of a swift, localized containment. President Donald Trump’s declaration of the U.S. as the "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait"—complete with a highly controversial 20% security toll on all transiting cargo—is less a stabilizing measure and more a jarring acknowledgment of permanent volatility.

Law, Order and the Limits of State Power
Every elected government inherits two fundamental responsibilities that often pull in opposite directions: maintaining public order and protecting individual liberty. A functioning democracy cannot thrive in the absence of either. Citizens expect governments to curb crime, dismantle organised criminal networks and ensure that streets, neighbourhoods and public institutions remain safe. At the same time, they also expect the State to exercise its coercive powers within the boundaries of the Constitution and the rule of law.
