Dagens citat

"Iceland was harder hit than most countries by the economic crisis. Already the state funding of all seven universities has been cut while the number of students is growing. ... A nation of 320,000 probably does not need more than two institutions of higher education, including one research-based university. ... It was not very sensible to establish so many different universities."
