Abstract

A further contribution to the debate about ways of cutting costs in higher education was made last month by the Rev George Tolley, principal of Sheffield Polytechnic and vice‐chairman of the Committee of Directors of Polytechnics. The pressures for demanding ‘a reduced scale of increase in expenditure (which is not the same as a cut‐back)’ are inevitable, he said. Shorter courses, a reduced commitment to research a ‘shift’ system and a worsening of the staff‐student ratio were amongst the possibilities that would have to be considered.
