Top universities up in arms over Russell Group's evidence on fees

Posted on Tue, 11 May 2010 09:23 by Jan Chamier
Angry students from 20 leading universities are demanding that the Russell Group reveal evidence it has submitted to the government's review of tuition fees, which the Group has so far refused to do. 

Students say they do not see why the views of the influential Russell Group should not be made public, alongside the views of other university groups which have already been published.

Attempts by students from Oxford University to use freedom of information requests to force the publication of the Russell Group's submission were rejected by the government.

Emmanuel Akpan-Inwang fom the student's union at the London School of Economics said it was 'completely unacceptable' that evidence from their universities that so directly impacts on students was being kept hidden.

However, the Russell Group is rejecting any claim of secrecy, saying that the submission to the fees review was always intended as part of a wider report on student funding which will be published in the next few weeks - it does not want documents to be seen 'out of context'.

The students have drawn up a formal protest letter which asks the Russell Group to publish its evidence immediately and to give a firm date for the publication of its full report.
