Public money, private pain

Article Abstract:

Some smaller private higher educational institutions, such as the Mountview Theatre School, are facing funding difficulties as they are receiving less money from the Higher Education Funding Council and are reluctant to raise students' fees. Some observers suggest the larger private colleges will take over smaller establishments. The introduction of students fees has allowed the UK private educational institutions to compete with public sector colleges. University of Buckingham Vice-Chancellor Robert Taylor fears the introduction of public money may lead to greater government control.

UKPd5.5bn buys single track universities

Article Abstract:

Stark new divisions have emerged between research and teaching-led universities in England as the country's higher education budgets were set for 2003-2004. The budgets, which rose by 6% to UKPd5.5 bil vs 2002-2003, marked the start of the Higher Education Funding Council for England's implementation of the government's policy of specialisation, with funding for research in less prestigious universities being plundered to finance research in elite universities, and teaching grants to elite universities being raided to finance non-traditional students in former polytechnics.
