  • Study of the English Higher Education Regional Associations
    Annex 1 Terms of reference Background In order to satisfy accountability for public funding, HEFCE is reviewing various strands of special initiative funding (which includes its funding for the Higher Education Regional Associations - HERAs). As all HERAs have now been established for at least 5 years, this review seemed timely. It was agreed that a study involving partners would be more productive as it should allow greater scope to look at the ways in which the HERA role has developed, and continues to develop, as well as providing stakeholders with an opportunity to input into the process. Aim In particular, the study should provide HEFCE with an understanding of the current role and contribution of HERAs, as well as clarification of and recommendations on their future role. It is also important that the study recognises the role that HEFCE and regional stakeholders must play in engaging with and supporting them over the coming years. The outcomes of the study are expected to be of value to HERAs and their stakeholders and partners. Process HEFCE appointed Alan Brickwood Associates to undertake this study, who will conduct a number of face-to-face meetings with the HERAs and stakeholders, focusing on the questions outlined below. HEFCE will invite comments from the HERA Chief Executives on the final draft of the report. To help guide this process, HEFCE established a HERA study steering group made up of a number of representatives including HERAs, Universities UK, Standing Conference Of Principals, Regional Development Agencies, HERAs, Government Offices and the Association of Colleges. The purpose of the group is to advise on the scope of the study and findings but also to provide the consultants with a forum to discuss any issues arising as a result of the study.

    STUDENT ACCOMMODATION SURVEY 2015 Acknowledgements We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the institutions who took part in our online survey and to both UPP and Cass and Claredale for sponsoring the survey.

We would like to thank both UPP and Cass and Claredale for their sponsorship. Without their assistance we would not have been able to receive such an excellent response. Student housing is a subject that has attracted press coverage and competing visions of what is necessary to meet student needs. It is a subject of political debate with local authorities, the NUS, the HE sector and private developers debating the way forward to encourage both investment in, and delivery of, appropriate student housing. The Mayor of London has facilitated this debate through the London Academic Forum. The result has been that, in principle, the latest iteration of the London Plan will require private developers to either work in partnership with an HE Institution or deliver an element of their housing at rents affordable to the majority of students.

Thompson Taxing Democracy: Politics and the Bush Tax Cut by Michael J. Thompson The science of economics is a political science. —Max Weber ew domestic political issues have been debated with more passion than Fthe tax cut that was proposed by the Bush administration and recently passed by Congress. The tax cuts have been characterized as everything from a giveaway to the rich to a stimulus package for an ailing economy. Political rhetoric frequently coalesces with “social science,” statistics and economic argumentation, but—interestingly enough—the political character of decision-making on tax policy has tended to disappear from the public debate. What I think is happening, however, is not simply a rethinking of tax codes or a move away from the redistributional character of the post-war American welfare state.
