Against Russell Group secrecy on fees
Sign Now
We the undersigned object to the Russell Group's secrecy around their position on higher education funding.
As a lobbying group which acts on behalf of 20 of Britain's best universities - including Oxford & Cambridge - the Russell Group is alone in refusing to release what it submitted to the government review determining the future of Britain's universities. Even when requested under Freedom of Information Law the Government Review has refused to release the submission, arguing that to do so would "not be in the public interest". This is clearly not the case. The Russell Group submission is directly relevant to Oxford students and will shape the work which the review does.
Given the importance of the review and of the Russell Group's work we believe it is unacceptable that the Russell Group are refusing to come clean on their position on fees. Delaying the formal announcement of their position until an unspecified point later in 2010 is a cynical attempt to kick this crucial issue away from the General Election and the detailed scrutiny which their arguments deserve. We object to the Russell Group's secrecy on the future of universities and call for them to release their submission to the Government Review.
