Letter: Equity and affordability in the debate over graduate tax
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I am surprised to see your report that the 'head of public relations' at LSE - a junior official - is to resign because of the vote of the academic board rejecting the director's proposal to charge top-up fees to undergraduates ('LSE rejects plan to charge tuition fees', 24 June).
When a previous PR operation - the 'bid' for County Hall - failed, the same official was put forward as spokesman. The responsibility for both fiascos was that of the director, and he should be the one to resign.
Yours sincerely,
