The Guardian: Oxford University to press ahead with controversial reforms
Oxford University is to press ahead with controversial reforms of the way it is run, including plans to hand more power to business despite growing opposition among some dons.
In a white paper, the vice-chancellor, John Hood, confirmed that the council, which runs the university, would have a majority of outside members, including those with strong corporate interests, for the first time in Oxford’s 800-year history. The move, part of a drive to modernise Oxford’s governance, will be put before Congregation, the dons’ ancient parliament, in the autumn.
