    The magazine of the University of Dundee • September 11 www.dundee.ac.uk/pressoffice Million for a morgue contact•september 11 1 contents news.................. ....03 from the principal... With alarming speed we find ourselves once again at that time of year when we welcome new students to the University. And of course we welcome back returning students ready, after what I hope will have been a refreshing break, to pick up the rigours of their study. It’s wonderful to see the campus buzzing with activity again after the summer break, and to recognise afresh the importance of the rich diversity of the University community, staff and morgue campaign....14 students, to the success of our endeavours, whether in teaching or research. The beginning of the academic year is a time of excitement and anticipation for the new challenges facing us all. One of the major issues facing the University at the moment is our response to the Scottish Government’s proposal that Scottish universities be permitted to charge tuition fees to students from other parts of the UK. Given the intention to introduce the relevant legislation for entrants in September 2012, there isn’t much time. At the time of writing, only the University of Aberdeen had so far published its plans; but by the time you read this column, it’s possible that Dundee along with others will have made its intentions known. It will involve difficult decisions and will need to balance a number of factors: our commitment to Scottish students; the degree to which any fees can recoup income lost as a result of funding reductions; the effects on the recruitment royal exhibition.......16 of English, Welsh and Northern Irish students as well as on the wider access agenda and our ability to maintain a solid sense of community for all our students.
