The President and Vice-Chancellor’s Annual Guest Lecture
by Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial
Times
Wednesday, 24 May 2017, 6.30pm, Lecture Theatre 1, The
Diamond Building.
This lecture examines the logic underlying the
government’s current higher education bill.
It will conclude that it relies too heavily on naive economic
arguments. Economics has an important
role to play in analysing the future of universities, but it must not play a
preponderant role.
