University Funding in Scotland: Trends and Developments since 1993.
Midwinter, Arthur; McVicar, Murray
Scottish Educational Review, v31 n2 p112-21 Nov 1999
Examines the modernization of Scotland's higher education funding during the Thatcher years; trends in funding since 1995, when support based on unit costs was reduced; and the 1996 allocation of university funding based on research assessment. Concludes that continued emphasis on "efficiency-based savings" will increase teaching loads and further squeeze the higher education sector. Contains 25 references. (Author/SV)
