A cartel of academics, including A.C. Grayling, Richard Dawkins and Niall Ferguson, has announced plans for a new private Higher Education institution, the "New College of the Humanities", based in Bloomsbury in central London. It will charge students £18 thousand a year.
A campaign has been set up to oppose this step towards privatisating the University of London: see the Facebook group: Stop the New College of the Humanities and HE privatisation
For a report of the campaign's founding meeting and more details of how the New College will function, see lattelabour.blogspot.com/2011/06/greylist-grayling.html
For correspondence between Grayling and University of London Union Vice-President Sean Rillo Raczka, see the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts website
Terry Eagleton has written an article in the Guardian: 'AC Grayling's private university is odious'
