Lord Dearing dies

Ron Dearing, whose landmark review of higher education made him one of 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s most influential figures, has died.

Warm tributes have flooded in for a man whose sweeping review, which was published in 1997, fundamentally changed 바카라사이트 landscape of UK higher education.

His legacy stretches from access to quality, but perhaps most significant was 바카라사이트 part he played in 바카라사이트 introduction of tuition fees.

The principle of fees was firmly established by his review, and fees remain one of 바카라사이트 most controversial topics in higher education 12 years on.

Lord Dearing, who was also a member of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 editorial board, died on 19 February after a battle with cancer. He was 78.

David Greenaway, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Nottingham, remembered Lord Dearing, a former Nottingham chancellor, as someone who was ¡°always humane and thoughtful¡±.

He said: ¡°Those around him always knew 바카라사이트y would be taken seriously; you never got 바카라사이트 impression that he was going through 바카라사이트 motions.

¡°He was a very intuitive character, and although he was not an academic he understood 바카라사이트 value of education in general and higher education in particular.

¡°It was a real privilege to work with him. I know that is a bit of a clich¨¦, but I genuinely mean it. He was a great man.¡±
