Row after university suspends lecturer who criticised way student was treated

Rod Thornton accused Nottingham University of trying to discredit student, who downloaded an al-Qaida training manual

A university has been plunged into a row over academic freedom after suspending a lecturer who criticised its treatment of a student who researched al-Qaida.

Rod Thornton, an expert in counter-insurgency at Nottingham University, was suspended on Wednesday after he accused the university of passing "erroneous evidence" to police and attempting to discredit a student who downloaded an al-Qaida training manual from a US government website.

A member of staff at the university also lobbied successfully for Thornton's article to be taken down from an academic website, arguing that it contained defamatory allegations.

Private universities in 'equal scrutiny' call

Private universities in England, expected to grow in a shake-up of higher education, should be subject to the same regulations as public universities, a think tank has said.

The Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) report said the quality of all types of institution should be tested to "robust" common standards.

The regulatory system needs to be more "coherent", said the report.

A government spokeswoman said students needed "wider choice and good value".

HEPI director Bahram Bekhradnia said of the institute's report: "Private universities are here to stay - and there are going to be more of them."

International trends and a government sympathetic to more private institutions meant that this sector was going to grow.

As such, he said there needed to be legislation setting out a single, over-arching system of requirements for both private and public universities.

Overseas students charged extra 10 per cent

Overseas students starting courses at Cambridge University next year are set to be hit by a 10% hike in tuition fees.

Under the proposals, many international arts and humanities students will pay at least £13,000 a year, while some science courses will cost almost £20,000.

The increase comes at a time when Cambridge has said it will be running a cumulative deficit of around £30 million over the next three years.

The figures, published in the Cambridge University Reporter and first reported in the Times Higher Education magazine, show that new international students starting courses in 2012-13 will pay an extra 10% on the 2011-12 fee.

The report says the increase reflects "a further rise in university costs and the fees charged by comparable international institutions".
