Broken pledge betrays post-92s, Driscoll says

Article Abstract:

The Government has broken a promise to give the UK's post-92 universities the lion's share of funding for knowledge-transfer work and applied research, according to Michael Driscoll, chairman of Campaigning for Mainstream Universities, the body that represents new institutions. Provisional figures outlining the allocation of the latest round of the UKPd238 million Higher Education Innovation Fund in 2006-2008 reveal that the highest levels of funding will be received by old universities, which will receive up to UKPd3 million each.

Whitehall warned on admission changes

Article Abstract:

A working group chaired by Sir Alan Wilson, the Government's director-general of higher education, has raised concerns that allowing students to apply for university places after they have received their A-level results could pose practical problems for university admissions tutors and actually make life more difficult for the most disadvantaged applicants. Others note that experts have been advocating a post-qualification system for several years and that it is now time to devise a workable system.
