Saving our universities? New Humanist interviews AC Grayling

Caspar Melville:

"I believe that a mature civilised society ought to be funding universities properly through tax. Students should go to university for nothing because it's an investment that society's making in itself." The words belong to Professor Anthony Grayling, Master of New College of the Humanities (NCH). This unashamedly elite private university - student fees £18,000 a year - is housed in an 18th-century mansion in Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, where its first students will be unpacking their suitcases and sticking up their Radiohead posters right about now.
