presents the results of the 2009-10 Ross–CASE Survey of Gifts and Costs of Voluntary Giving which evaluates the philanthropic health of universities in the UK and, to a more limited extent, a number of further education institutions. The survey is carried out every year and is commissioned on behalf of the Ross Group of Development Directors and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) in Europe. The Ross Group is a network of leading fundraising professionals from research intensive universities in the UK and Ireland. Members of the Group are Directors of Development or equivalent positions in their home universities. The Group began this survey in 2001-2 in order to ensure that there was a reliable source of data on the philanthropic health of universities in the UK. This survey is one of the Ross Group’s major projects. The Group’s members have worked collaboratively to define common standards of philanthropic reporting, in terms of both income and costs, throughout the UK, and to engage the wider university sector in the need for participation in the survey. Until this survey began, there was no general sector-wide source for data on philanthropy in higher education in the UK. CASE is the membership association that serves educational institutions around the

  • The Student Visa System: Principles to Reform
    THE STUDENT VISA SYSTEM: PRINCIPLES TO REFORM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Universities UK, GuildHE, MillionPlus, the Russell Group, University Alliance and UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) have identified five principles that should underpin the design of the new student visa route and several actions that must be taken to achieve this reform. These actions include improving the international student experience, reducing the administrative burden and increasing reliability, transparency and accountability of the immigration system. BACKGROUND Under the current immigration system universities wishing to recruit international (non- EEA) students must sponsor these students, requiring the university1 and student to comply with a range of duties. In December 2018 the UK government published an Immigration White Paper announcing plans for a post-Brexit single visa route for all non-UK domiciled students. The White Paper outlined a commitment to streamlining the existing immigration system to develop more ‘light touch’ sponsorship procedures. The International Education Strategy published on 16 March 2019 reiterates this intention, stating that the government will ‘…keep the visa application process for international students under review, with the aim of improving the customer journey both for students and their sponsoring institutions’. The strategy’s intention to strengthen the UK’s visa offer for international students is central to achieving its ambition of growing the UK’s education exports to £35 billion a year and increasing the number of international higher education (HE) students in the UK to 600,000 by 2030. Together, the commitments in the Immigration White Paper and the International Education Strategy present an opportunity to rethink how the student visa system operates for universities and students.

  • Excellence, Concentration and Critical Mass in UK Research
    Concentration and diversity: understanding the relationship between excellence, concentration and critical mass in UK research A report by University Alliance Libby Aston and Liz Shutt December 2009 Research Paper 2009/01 © Copyright University Alliance 2009 ISBN 978-1-908190-04-8 Concentration and diversity: understanding the relationship between excellence, volume and critical mass in UK research Executive Summary 1. Selectivity not concentration has driven excellence • A policy of selectivity – funding research based on quality – has driven up the quality of UK research since the introduction of the RAE, not concentration. • Selectivity has resulted in concentration of research funding where quality exists. This is fully supported by University Alliance. • The UK has one of the most highly selective research funding methods in the world – QR funding in 2009-10, based on RAE 2008, has not changed that: o In 2007-8, four institutions received 29 per cent of Quality-related (QR) funding (and 23 around 75 per cent). o In 2009-10, four institutions received 32 per cent of QR funding (and 25 around 75 per cent). • Selectivity can, however, be taken too far. HEFCE’s ‘Fundamental Review of Research Policy and Funding’ concluded that “a major increase in selectivity could reduce the number of research-led institutions to a level that would be inconsistent with the general health of the UK research base, in terms of both its economic and its social contribution…leading to complacency and ossification.” 2. Excellence is not determined by volume alone • There is no direct correlation between volume and excellence outside some of the physical sciences.

The KCS site comprises one of 4 allocations that are proposed in the settlement that together will deliver: 450 new homes, thus reflecting Collingham’s role as one of the larger settlements in the Outer North East Housing Market Characteristic Area (HMCA), with a good range of shops and services and public transport services; A site for a new primary school, thus providing the opportunity for education facilities within Collingham to be substantially improved, to the benefit of existing and future residents; and A new access route between Harewood Road and the A58 Leeds Road, which would help to reduce traffic through Collingham Local Centre. 1.03 KCS Development is also a member of a consortium of housebuilders and site promoters (the ONE Consortium) that is proposing an alternative strategy to meeting housing needs in the ONE HMCA than that proposed by the Council.
