Discuss: delivering for the country means taming the HE market
Date: November 11, 2025
Time: 15:15 – 16:00
Location: Wonk Corner
“Marketisation” gets blamed for a lot of HE’s ills – but the prospect of market management in the forms of measures like student number controls isn’t especially palatable either. This session will discuss where the appetite is to restrict institutional freedoms in the service of the system as a whole – and what the implications might be for regulation.
Discussion sessions will take the form of a brief initial provocation followed by open debate and sharing of views from those attending.
