Dr. Graham Love:

We understand that but with the national strategy for higher education, the so-called Hunt report, and a number of other issues such as access, it is very clear what is expected.

We have a much tighter hold on what is expected of the system and what it needs to return for the Exchequer funding that it receives. In my ten years in the broader sector, I have seen a sophistication growing on the part of the institutions, in that they are becoming clearer in what they are aiming to do under their goals and we in the HEA and the broader system can have a reasonable expectation and hold them accountable for the good use of putative additional funding.
