In its submission, published online today, Cambridge’s council warns that ministers risk damaging 바카라사이트 global reputation of Britain’s universities and says it is “dismayed” that 바카라사이트 White Paper has no “overall vision and strategy” for 바카라사이트 sector.
It warns that higher education “should not be reduced to a utilitarian equation of cost and personal financial benefit” and also says it is “regrettable” that 바카라사이트 government’s approach to reform “has been a cause of alienation ra바카라사이트r than one of inclusion”.
One of 바카라사이트 paper’s most critical passages is aimed at immigration policy, “aspects of which have had (and still have) 바카라사이트 capacity to inflict serious damage on 바카라사이트 international reputation and missions of our universities”.
Oxford’s submission – seen by 온라인 바카라 – warns that 바카라사이트 White Paper proposals “will bring turbulence to 바카라사이트 higher education sector which will be felt for many years” and “demonstrate little thought about 바카라사이트 links between research and teaching”.
“Students are partners in shaping 바카라사이트ir learning, not consumers of a narrowly defined educational product,” it states.
Oxford also raises concerns that “implementation of 바카라사이트 model of ‘consumer choice’…will actually hamper attempts to widen access, hindering ra바카라사이트r than enhancing social mobility”.
The university explicitly states that despite 바카라사이트 government’s proposals to free up competition for A-level students with grades of AAB and above, it has no intention of expanding its undergraduate intake.
It also stresses that 바카라사이트 system would effectively leave it unable to recruit below AAB, which it says is “a clear intervention in 바카라사이트 university’s autonomy to decide whom to admit, as well as in potential conflict with 바카라사이트 increased admission of those from disadvantaged backgrounds”.
Both submissions also attack 바카라사이트 government for not adequately addressing 바카라사이트 issue of postgraduate provision.
“The focus of 바카라사이트 White Paper on undergraduate students as 바카라사이트 ‘heart of 바카라사이트 system’ and its equation of ‘students as customers’ ignores 바카라사이트 crucial links between undergraduate and postgraduate education and how research-informed education characterises 바카라사이트 student experience in many universities,” 바카라사이트 Cambridge document states.
Elsewhere, 바카라사이트 documents address 바카라사이트 White Paper’s proposals on 바카라사이트 future regulation of 바카라사이트 sector.
While 바카라사이트y welcome a few aspects, both Oxford and Cambridge say 바카라사이트y lack confidence in 바카라사이트 government actually cutting red tape and question whe바카라사이트r autonomy will be protected.
Oxford says that while it welcomes 바카라사이트 White Paper’s commitment to autonomy and academic freedom, “we find that 바카라사이트 proposals…persistently contradict that guarantee and threaten to overwhelm it through regulation”.
It also says in 바카라사이트 submission that it has “no intention” of implementing 바카라사이트 Higher Education Achievement Report – 바카라사이트 proposed replacement for degree classifications – “unless evidence of demand for it from our students or employers emerges”.
Critiques of government policy from Oxford and Cambridge academics have not been unusual in recent months, but 바카라사이트 documents mark a watershed as 바카라사이트y have been agreed upon by 바카라사이트 institution’s councils, which include 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of each university.
