Our open letter to the Government calling for greater transparency and clarity on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, coordinated and led by UA and backed by a group of 70 universities and businesses, was covered in-depth on Tuesday’s BBC Newsnight.
The segment included an interview from Member of UA’s Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise Network, and Pro Vice Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Engagement at Teesside University, Professor Jane Turner OBE.
UA welcomes the government investment to strengthen the UK’s defence skills pipeline, with four of our member universities awarded funding through the Strategic Priorities Grant.
University Alliance has raised concerns about proposals to restrict entry requirements to university, which have been recommended in Policy Exchange’s Tarnished Towers report.
