The New College of the Humanities in Bloomsbury, London’s main university quarter, feels like a tiny version of an august academic institution. Yet it is a for-profit organisation. The college’s founder, Anthony Grayling, wants to introduce a bit of diversity to a largely state-funded higher education system. 【F1】
A new high-end player in the marketplace also helps fill the gap in provision for students with good qualifications who lose out by a grade or two in the brutal race for places in the Russell Group of top universities.
This kind of disruptive innovation earns a mixed reception. The coalition government welcomes it. But Terry Eagleton, an outspoken Marxist academic, describes the venture as "disgusting" and divisive. Other critics have pointed out that courses there closely resemble what is on offer, more cheaply, at the existing London university colleges. Mr. Grayling hopes to counter the charge with outreach initiatives and generous grants for poorer students.
The government has also eased rules on what qualifies as a university. The newly named University of Law, an outfit with several regional centres, is backed by a private-equity firm and offers two-year degree courses for highly motivated or cash-strapped students. 【F2】
Other institutions such as BPP University College, which grants professional qualifications from accountancy to chiropractic (脊椎神经学), were given degree-awarding powers by the last Labour government, but now want full university status.
And the line between private and state-funded higher education is blurring in other ways. Established institutions including Imperial College, London and University College are also thriving businesses, cross-subsidising studies and research which do not make money. Oxford has initiated a joint Master’s course in law and finance, crammed into nine months and costing a big 21,000 pounds.
Much has changed since the independent University of Buckingham (a non-profit operator) launched 30 years ago. Today it has more British undergraduates than foreign ones and offers a range of subjects, including medicine. But the revolution is unfinished. 【F3】
One unusual phenomenon that makes life harder for independent providers is that students can take out government-backed student loans at a favourable rate for only the first 6,000 pounds of their fees.
At subsidised top universities, they can borrow the full yearly fee of 9,000 pounds.
【F4】
The level playing field promised when the coalition came to power in 2010 remains a work in progress.
David Willetts, the universities minister, failed in a bid to allow for-profit education firms equal access to state funding. 【F5】
Many senior academics opposed the move, citing "ridiculously low graduation rates, high levels of debts and degrees of dubious value" from some for-profit American companies.
When it comes to changing higher education, even small innovations can provoke a noisy reaction.
【F5】
选项
答案
许多资深学者都反对此举,援引的理由是一些营利性的美国公司造成的“低得可笑的毕业率,高得离谱的债务以及含金量令人怀疑的学位”。
解析
①本句为语法意义上的简单句,为主谓宾结构。②逗号后的现在分词短语citing“ridiculously...rates,high…value”from…American companies在句中作伴随状语,解释学者们opposed“反对”援引的理由,句末的from…American companies为修饰引号中三个并列名词短语的后置定语,说明这三项内容出自何处。
