[A cutting in the ms* of an article in [The] G[uardian] 19910118:[p]10 headed ‘Chief defends exam critic’ by James Meikle, Education Correspondent, of which no part is highlighted in the ms, reports on conflict in the world of higher education concerning academic standards, and includes a statement attributed to the Chancellor of Manchester University, Chair of the Council for Academic Freedom, and emeritus Professor of Law at London University, as follows: ‘The real charge against [a lecturer at another university] is that she protested publicly against the running sore in the institutions of higher education today, visible in universities and polytechnics, that academic standards are being lowered so that income may be increased. We all know this to be true, but most are afraid to say so’.]
