Bums get a kicking

Swansea University came in for some deserved stick this evening on Week In, Week Out (ITV Wales) - both for the deleterious effect of 'student life' on the communities of Uplands and Brynmill and the unwillingness of officials to recognise the scale of the problem.

Based on the footage taken by residents, neighbourhoods surrounding the Singleton campus are being forced to endure a brand of night-time yob-culture that goes beyond the norm. Locals made it clear that they see the preoccupation of university bosses with getting 'bums on seats' instead of better regulation as the key problem. They will not be impressed by the registrar who suggested that things needed to be put into perspective.

Somehow you can't imagine him being so dispassionate if someone was regularly pissing through his letter box for a laugh.
