I thank Dr. Thorn for his presentation. The key question of funding came through in the presentation. I was struck by Dr. Thorn's comment that he is "agnostic" with regard to the Cassells report. I must question this because I do not understand how he can be agnostic about it. There are three clear options here. Which one would Dr. Thorn prefer to see? Each one has different outcomes and very different consequences. Moving towards a student loan model, for example, which has never worked anywhere, would also be disastrous in terms of equality of access. It worries me when I hear someone saying that he is agnostic about it. I would like a bit more clarity on that please.
