University governing bodies should keep an eye on the collective needs of all institutions instead of just prioritising individual success if they want to improve the financial health of the sector, a higher education watchdog has said timeshighereducation.com/new…

Governing bodies ‘too focused on competition, not sector health’

Emergence of governors from private sector means oversight bodies have ‘lost touch with university community’, according to new draft code of conduct
