Responsibility

[unclear: the] universities are to remain institutions, and if informed sessions be made within [unclear: matters] affecting their per functioning, it is necessary that the responsibility of governing them should largely be placed in the hands of university staff and not of the representatives of Governments and outside bodies.

We have all become familiar in the last 30 years with what has become of universities in some oilier countries where it has been taken for granted that it is the proper function of Governments to dominate universities.

Both the Rabbins report on British universities and the Murray report on Australian universities have spoken of the importance of having proper representation of university teachers on the governing bodies of universities.
