Bonus points for higher-level maths

Madam, – Your article regarding the decision of UCD to re-introduce bonus points for higher-level mathematics (Home News, September 17th) states that this “move makes it likely that the other six universities will also agree to bonus points . . .” I wish to clarify that the University of Limerick has always offered bonus points for higher-level mathematics.

I appreciate this opportunity to correct the record. – Yours, etc,

Prof J PAUL McCUTCHEON,

Vice President Academic and Registrar,

University of Limerick,

Limerick.
