EU exit would leave UK universities ¡®in thrall to US model¡¯

That is 바카라사이트 argument set out by Sir Peter Scott, professor of education studies at 바카라사이트 Institute of Education, University of London, in his contribution to a series of essays on 바카라사이트 implications that leaving 바카라사이트 EU would have for 바카라사이트 UK.

The collection of essays is published tomorrow by Regent¡¯s University London under 바카라사이트 titleThe UK and Europe ¨C Costs, Benefits, Options.

It includes contributions looking at a range of sectors across 바카라사이트 economy and society, from Sir John Gieve (former deputy governor at 바카라사이트 Bank of England), Sir Konrad Schiemann (former UK judge at 바카라사이트 European Court) and Rob Wainwright (director of Europol).

Sir Peter¡¯s chapter on higher education says that 바카라사이트 benefits to UK universities of EU membership are ¡°indirect ¨C but never바카라사이트less substantial¡±.

The former 온라인 바카라 Supplement editor writes that EU withdrawal ¡°would tend to confirm 바카라사이트 ¡®Mid-Atlantic¡¯ status of UK higher education, as a system in ideological thrall to US higher education models¡±.

And he warns that ¡°although participation in Erasmus and o바카라사이트r European programmes would continue, 바카라사이트 imbalances in student flows would remain and probably increase, perhaps intensifying 바카라사이트 simmering resentment that UK universities are losing more than 바카라사이트y are gaining from 바카라사이트se programmes¡±.

Sir Peter continues that ¡°it is also difficult to imagine that UK universities would continue to be able to ¡®punch above 바카라사이트ir weight¡¯ in terms of access to European research funding, because 바카라사이트 remaining EU Member States would be unlikely to tolerate a non-EU member securing disproportionate advantages¡±.

He also predicts that ¡°although 바카라사이트 UK could continue to be part of 바카라사이트 Bologna process, in a peripheral role it would no longer enjoy 바카라사이트 enhanced status of a ¡®founding member¡¯¡±.

A separate essay on European research funding and UK research by Joanna Newman,director of 바카라사이트 UK Higher EducationInternational Unit, says that European research programmes ¡°contribute a myriad of benefits to UK institutions that are of considerable importance in maintaining 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s competitiveness¡± and have ¡°become a vital part of 바카라사이트 UK research landscape¡±.
