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.
【F2】
选项
答案
上届工党政府曾给予BPP大学(该大学可授予包括审计和脊椎神经学等专业在内的专业证书)等其他机构学位授予权,但是现在这些机构希望获得全日制的大学身份。
解析
①本句为包含非限制性定语从句的主从复合句,主句为主谓宾结构,包含sth.be given sth.结构和want sth.结构,其中前者描述的是过去的动作,使用的时态为一般过去时,语态为被动语态,其主动形式还原后应为give sth.sth.“给某物某物”结构;后者描述的是现在的意愿,与前者构成语义的转折关系,使用的时态为一般现在时。such as BPP University College是对主句主语Other institutions“其他机构”的举例说明。②which在句中引导非限定性定语从句,修饰BPP University College,说明诸如此类机构的情况,from accountancy to chiropractic“审计和脊椎神经学”作后置定语修饰qualifications。
