Surrey seeks escape from state control

Article Abstract:

Surrey University could become the first public university in the UK to opt out of government control and instead rely on independent funding. The possibility has arisen as the university's vice-chancellor has commented that the biggest risk factor in Surrey's strategy is the government's higher education policy and unless something is done about it then a point could be reached where the university feels strongly enough to believe that it needs to become independent.
