The Times: ‘University challenge’ for 20 new campuses

Twenty new university campuses serving 10,000 students are to be built in England over the next six years in a drive to ensure that no region is left without access to higher education.

John Denham, the Universities Secretary, will today invite local authorities and regional development agencies to enter a “university challenge” to bid for funding for a campus or college in their area.
