In UK, the hood or sash is just passed or tied to the button just below the neck near the collar.

Those institutions, Ministers, etc, of ours want to believe, and needed to believe, that if they were invited to any function, then that function must be a prestigious one otherwise, as the argument goes, the esteemed Minister's name would not have cropped up. TDM did not call them all "half-past-six" for nothing.<BR/><BR/>It is not that those Ministers are shameless; it is simply that they have absolutely no ability to discern the real from the imaginary. Like Yusry, surely they honestly believed that those degrees are real. Surely it must be clear to all that such incompetence (actually I am using this word as I am not able to come up with a worse description at this moment)forms the bedrock for the miserable state of affairs of our own tertiary institutions.<BR/><BR/>Imagine also their pride when comparing, say, the "standard" of Irish International University with our own UM; no wonder our Ministers continues to believe that our UM is of such a high standard. Compared to a nothing, to something that does not exist, UM shines with infinite brilliance. No doubt.<BR/><BR/>I cant help it, but everytime I think of the non-Irish IIU, M Kayveas immediately comes to mind.
