The Government published its Higher Education White Paper ‘Students at the Heart of the System’ on 28 June 2011 and has invited comments on the proposals.
The White Paper consultation period will run until 20 September 2011.
The Council, in its Notice concerning Grace 3 of the 15 June 2011, stated that it would ‘wish to ensure that, through a process of effective consultation with the Regent House, it is able to submit a considered response to the proposals in the white paper that takes account of the full range of views of members of the Regent House and which would be published within the University’.
Members and staff of the University and Colleges are invited to submit comments, which will inform the Council’s deliberations on these important matters, via the forum at the following link: https://forum.cam.ac.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5112.
This internal consultation will end on 6 September 2011 and will allow the Council to consider all submissions in formulating a response by the government’s deadline. The Council would welcome views as to whether there should be a special discussion of the Regent House that day to conclude the consultation.
Direct responses to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills are also encouraged, and can be made at http://discuss.bis.gov.uk/hereform/.
