Freedom row fails to sink Warwick's Singapore plan

Article Abstract:

Warwick University has set out to renegotiate plans to establish an UKPd300 million campus for 10,000 students in Singapore, despite a decision by the university's Senate of senior academics, Warwick's governing council, not to proceed with the original plans. The Senate had vetoed the original plans because the university had failed to secure assurances from Singapore's authorities that restrictions on academic freedom would not be placed on the university's students and staff.

Union fears local deals

Article Abstract:

Delegates attending the annual council meeting of the Association of University Teachers in Eastbourne, UK, in week commencing 17 April 2005 will be told that the national pay bargaining system for academics has, effectively, collapsed. It will be argued that the fragmentation of salary negotiations threatens to undermine the idea of higher education as a national public service and creates further pressure for higher education to be commercialised.
