VC to chair independent HE Commission
Warwick's Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel Thrift is to chair a major new independent commission looking at the future of the sector in England.
The Commission on the Future of Higher Education in England, which has been launched by thinktank the Institute for Public Policy Research, is being chaired by Professor Thrift with another four institution heads serving on the panel.
It aims to address how higher education should respond to the major challenges it faces over the next two decades and develop a “policy framework” that will strengthen its institutions. It will run for 12 months and aims to publish a report in February 2013.
The commission is the latest in a series of independent policy inquiries on higher education that have been launched in the last few weeks.
