Universities must be given the freedom to improve access to higher education in a way that works for local communities and responds to national challenges, the Russell Group has said today (14 November).
In its response to the Office for Students’ (OfS) consultation on a new approach to regulating equality of opportunity in English Higher Education, the Russell Group has welcomed the proposed move to an approach centred on risks to inequality as it should enable providers to continue taking flexible, varied approaches in response to local and national challenges.
