Professor Brigid Laffan:
I would say that all the reports we now have before us show clearly that there were severe deficits in governance, underpinned by a culture where it was difficult to contest, to ask questions and to be heard, where people did their jobs the next tier down and raised issues both on planning and on cost. In my view, it was almost as if the system was designed to deliver a cost as opposed to what was value for money for the university.
