Channel 4 is making a documentary

Channel 4 is making a documentary about the commercialisation of higher education. One of the areas the programme will explore is the conflict between university managements' desire to increase revenue and the necessity to maintain academic standards.

We are looking to speak on or off the record to academics who feel that standards are being compromised, for example by inflating grades and overlooking poor standards in English, as their institutions seek to maximise income from tuition fees from both UK and overseas students.

If you are willing to speak to me off the record and in confidence, please do get in touch in the strictest confidence.

I really like the news that the channel is making a documentary about the commercialization of higher education,about the higher education they are doing good because this event is becoming the part of the student's life,and they have to complete this one,so faetures are good and useful.As i see.
