Why?
“To achieve and retain their present standing British universities have no alternative but to compete internationally for students, funding and academics from all over the world”
“This scale of global operation carries ethical and reputational risk, and requires an infrastructure to protect the core principles of any university which is operating on a more expansive and international market. These changes in the nature of the world in which universities operate and are resourced mean that some…are now operating on a scale comparable to that of a global company.”
