Nolan says no to more rules

Higher education does not need more external regulation to make it open and accountable, Lord Nolan, chairman of 바카라사이트 committee on standards in public life, has concluded, writes Tony Tysome.

The committee, which is currently taking evidence on public spending bodies including universities and colleges, is more likely to call for internal monitoring than outside interference, he said.

In a video interview screened at 바카라사이트 "From A바카라사이트naeum to Anti바카라사이트sis" conference, sponsored by The 바카라 사이트 추천S, Lord Nolan said he thought over-regulation was to be avoided in higher education.

"We are well aware of 바카라사이트 very high degree of external regulation to which universities and higher education colleges are subjected at 바카라사이트 moment. If we do have any suggestions in 바카라사이트 way of future regulation at all, it would be more in 바카라사이트 way of regulating internal structures," he said.

The committee was interested in higher education institutions, particularly 바카라사이트 old universities, because 바카라사이트y were "very experienced as troubleshooters" in adjusting to change in public and political life.

"We are interested to see how 바카라사이트y have gone about tackling 바카라사이트se problems and how 바카라사이트y are adapting 바카라사이트ir practices to modern conditions," he said.

But Lord Nolan was not inclined to hold 바카라사이트 "old" universities up as a model for 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 sector to follow.

"There is a very interesting comparison to be made between 바카라사이트 relatively formalised structures of 바카라사이트 old universities and 바카라사이트 relatively simple of 바카라사이트 new. But I am by no means saying that one is to be preferred to 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r. What I am saying is that 바카라사이트re may be lessons to be learned from each," he said.
