This report from UK think tank HEPI identifies opportunities for enhancing university governance in England.

Dr Alison Wheaton considers how university governing body members in England perceive their roles and what this means for the higher education sector. The report, which is based on Dr Wheaton’s recent PhD, finds a shift towards more interactive governance at some universities.
