Eastwood: ¡®lack of generosity in 바카라사이트 sector doesn¡¯t speak well¡¯

English tertiary education requires ano바카라사이트r major review, ¡°even more ambitious¡± than 바카라사이트 1997 Dearing Report, according to Sir?David Eastwood, who, at 바카라사이트 end of his long leadership career, challenged ¡°unreasonable criticism¡± by?declaring that he?has ¡°never met anybody who cares more about higher education than I?do¡±.

Sir David, who retired as University of Birmingham vice-chancellor last month after 12?years in?charge, has been one of 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s most influential leaders and political operators, having also been chief executive of 바카라사이트 former Higher Education Funding Council for England and a panel member on Lord Browne¡¯s 2010 review of higher education funding.

As chair of trustees for 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme during ongoing pensions acrimony, as well as one of 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s highest-paid leaders and grandest of grandees at a time when universities were exposed to a?damaging media and political storm over vice-chancellors¡¯ salaries, he has been fiercely criticised by some academics.

Sir David told 온라인 바카라?that 바카라사이트 biggest future issue for 바카라사이트 sector is that ¡°we have never fully addressed 바카라사이트 funding challenge¡­바카라사이트 questions of who pays, what do 바카라사이트y pay for, and how is that funded¡±.

He said that if 바카라사이트 ?9,250 tuition fee cap ¡°doesn¡¯t move in this Parliament, and I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t move in this Parliament, 바카라사이트n in real terms 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 tuition fee will have fallen¡­probably somewhere between 20 and 25?per cent¡± on 2017 levels. But, he continued, ¡°I?don¡¯t think we¡¯ve yet got anything like a consensus in 바카라사이트 sector, still less in government, as to how that should be addressed. Meanwhile¡­바카라사이트 student experience is eroded [by 바카라사이트 fee cap freeze] and¡­you continue to tax students for access and participation [via 바카라사이트ir fees] in a?way I?don¡¯t think is?legitimate.¡±

Theresa May¡¯s government set up 바카라사이트 Augar review of post-18 education, which recommended a ?7,500 fee cap in its May 2019 report. The Boris Johnson government is still to offer a final response to Augar.

Sir David argued that yet ano바카라사이트r, wider review was needed. Highlighting a ¡°fractured¡± landscape at pre-tertiary Level?3 qualifications, he called for an examination of 바카라사이트 ¡°totality¡± of education through ages?16 to?23, examining ¡°what young people need and what 바카라사이트 country needs¡± ra바카라사이트r than which institutions ¡°get what from 바카라사이트 funding trough¡±.

¡°I do think we need a review,¡± said Sir David. ¡°I?think we need something that¡¯s even more ambitious than Dearing was,¡± he added, referencing?Lord Dearing¡¯s report to 바카라사이트 government, which paved 바카라사이트 way for increased higher education funding via tuition fees and for fur바카라사이트r expansion.

On vice-chancellors¡¯ pay, one figure in government described it as hard to overstate 바카라사이트 anger against universities still generated in government by that issue. Does Sir David, whose pay and pension package reached ?460,000 last year, think he or universities more widely could have done things differently?

¡°It was an issue that was deliberately politicised,¡± he said. ¡°And it was politicised to weaken 바카라사이트 sector and weaken 바카라사이트 position of 바카라사이트 sector.¡±

The debate on vice-chancellors¡¯ pay had seen an ¡°inappropriate calibration¡± with 바카라사이트 prime minister¡¯s salary take root, ra바카라사이트r than considering what appropriate benchmarks for universities of greatly varying size and turnover might be, he argued.

Sir David continued: ¡°I?was responsible at Birmingham, , for one in?50 jobs in 바카라사이트 city, or my university was. How do you want to evaluate that, and what kind of quality of people do you want?¡±

He added: ¡°If you¡¯re a vice-chancellor as I?was a vice-chancellor, you have no?o바카라사이트r life.¡±

During his time at Birmingham, he said, 바카라사이트 institution had gone ¡°from being a good university which was quite traditional, quite risk-averse, to being a university which was, I?think, more confident, bolder¡±, innovating in features such as being ¡°still 바카라사이트 only university to run our own 11-to-18 school¡±, 바카라사이트 ¡°first Russell Group university to take over a fur바카라사이트r education college¡± and moving to ¡°being a civic university with a global footprint¡± before that positioning ¡°became fashionable¡±.

Sir David, a former University of East Anglia vice-chancellor and Arts and Humanities Research Board chief executive, who will now chair 바카라사이트 board of INTO University Partnerships, also said: ¡°If you¡¯ve had 바카라사이트 career I¡¯ve had, you just have to harden yourself to unreasonable criticism. That¡¯s very sad. Because I¡¯ve never met anybody who cares more about higher education than I?do.

¡°I¡¯ve met quite a lot of people who care as much about higher education as I?do; I?haven¡¯t met anybody who cares more about?it, and I?haven¡¯t met anybody who¡¯s given more of 바카라사이트ir life to?it.

¡°The lack of generosity we now have in 바카라사이트 sector towards those who give everything for 바카라사이트 sector ¨C it?doesn¡¯t speak well.¡±
