If universities are to be truly free and sustainable, most students
will have to pay fees
UNIVERSITIES the world over love symbols, from medieval scholastic
garb at degree ceremonies to the owls, martlets, chevrons and scrolls
of scholastic heraldry. But for many universities, especially in
Britain and elsewhere in Europe, a more accurate emblem would include
slummy buildings, dog-eared books and demoralised dons. That's why
Britain's government is, next week, risking defeat in the House of
Commons to bring more private money into the country's
universities—and why European and developing countries, now busy
expanding higher education, need to think hard about how much
government involvement is good for universities.
