Proceeding contribution from Lord St John of Fawsley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Higher Education: Funding.
Higher Education: Funding
What is the essential point of a university? The currency of the word has been successively devalued, but a university is a body that engages in research. It is not a glorified high school, technical school or polytechnic, but an institution of higher learning. Successive Governments have offered people at universities courses that are not university courses at all. That is what we should be looking at. I speak as a former Minister in charge of higher education.
