The HEA should be do its own work and make its own decisions. It can have the recommendations from Deloitte and it will have a report from Dr. Thorn. The authority should set out what it believes should happen and not simply say that it will accept the recommendations made by Deloitte, which is a body that was employed and paid specifically by the institute. That is my personal view of this matter and people may disagree with such a view. I do not accept that this is the process that will get us to the best place in terms of accountability.
