Roger Brown, Professor of Higher Education Policy at Liverpool Hope, makes a speech at the University of Portsmouth on Tuesday 9th February, in which he will argue that current university governance arrangements are “ramshackle” and should be replaced with a two-tier system in which separate “courts” represent staff and student interests.
Professor Brown will also advocate setting up a single watchdog for the sector, which would combine the regulatory functions of the Quality Assurance Agency, the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Office of the Independent Adjudicator.
