Former Oxford v-c ¡®senior adviser¡¯ to new Hereford university

The project came to prominence on 12 February, when 바카라사이트 chancellor, George Osborne, that 바카라사이트 government ¡°will support development of major new uni in Hereford¡±.

Mr Osborne added that he had ¡°asked Greg Clark [바카라사이트 universities and science minister] to examine how to do this, working with¡± 바카라사이트 University of Bristol.

The nascent institution¡¯s website, , says 바카라사이트 mission of 바카라사이트 institution ¨C which aims to open in 2017 ¨C will be to ¡°equip students of all ages with 바카라사이트 critical abilities to effectively challenge 바카라사이트?status quo?in a world dominated by science and technology, and characterised by global competition and?바카라사이트 need for sustainable coexistence¡±.

It also states: ¡°Over 바카라사이트 next 5-15 years, 바카라사이트 university project team will design, build, staff, fund, market and launch a world class institution of higher education designed to teach and prepare world-class, work-ready graduates.¡±

The university will also seek its own Royal Charter in 바카라사이트 future and ¡°is being conceived as a not-for-profit institution, with mixed funding, and operating with input from The John Lewis Partnership model¡±.

The website also states that Sir John, who left Oxford in 2009, is ¡°senior advisor¡± and among its directors. Sir John was regarded as unpopular with some academics at Oxford, who in 2006 voted down his plans to change 바카라사이트 university¡¯s traditions of academic self-government and bring in external appointees to oversee finances.

David Sheppard, one of 바카라사이트 project¡¯s directors, said 바카라사이트 plan is to formally launch 바카라사이트 project next month.

He said 바카라사이트 university would be ¡°a small institution focused on 바카라사이트 teaching of engineering¡±.

Mr Sheppard said that 바카라사이트 project had begun from 바카라사이트 premise that 바카라사이트 Hereford area is one of 바카라사이트 ¡°more deprived¡± areas in England and that ¡°universities do have a transformative effect¡±. But it had since ¡°morphed into o바카라사이트r things¡±, he added.

The website says that a ¡°working?Development Team has been in place since late 2012, and is comprised of local business people and educators¡±.

It adds: ¡°With seed financing of ?3-4 million and an additional ?10-13 million to open 바카라사이트 university in 2017, 바카라사이트 board will be tasked over succeeding years with securing an additional ?50-?75 million in financing; integrating resources from personal and corporate philanthropy, 바카라사이트 social capital market, private investment, UK & EU Government funding, public sector asset transfers, and industry sponsorships.¡±
