...lead to the "resource curse" - a government-connected élite profits, most people still suffer, and the economy winds up dependent on petroleum and facing inflation from rising oil revenues. Nigeria, for example, ranks in the top 10 of world oil exporters, yet 60% of Nigerians live below the poverty line, and the country's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that the government has stolen or wasted some $400 billion, a fair share of which presumably came from...

Yet this is hardly enough; we hope that the reform process will be fast-tracked so that students do not continue to suffer under a broken regime. Waiting for a permanent dean is not a suitable excuse to delay. The biggest problem with the current system is that students are often not allowed to appear in person before the Board to advocate for themselves. The board hears three types of cases: petitions, academic...
