But the experience has almost certainly increased exponentially in the face of what has been written about '#Rhodesmustfall', '#feesmustfall' and '#outsourcingmustfall' over the past five or six months - along with the volume of analyses of these events, and of what other people have written about these movements. Yet at least three messages that emerge from the endless sentences are important, in this instance, as preludes to what really matters for students in the South African higher education system.
