A dispute that, according to MPs, threatens the very survival of London Metropolitan University, the capital’s biggest higher education institution, is spilling over on to London’s streets. Last week lorry drivers on Holloway Road in Islington watched as a group of students and staff picketed a meeting of London Met’s governors.
"Save our Staff" and "London Met on the Roper" , a reference to the university’s vice-chancellor, Professor Brian Roper, screamed the banners.
The university, which has 34, 000 students, has long attracted controversy for the militancy of its staff and students, but the latest row is a more serious matter. This crisis is over an attempt by the Higher Education Funding Council to claw back more than £ 50m of money that London Met should not have received. It is believed that as many as 500 jobs could go as a result of the university having been overpaid for student dropouts since 2005, and the unions are furious, claiming at the same time that the university is being unfairly treated by Hefc but that neither the managers nor the governors have explored the alternatives to job cuts.
" The University and College Union are very concerned that the Hefc regulations appear to discriminate against widening participation," said a UCU spokesperson. "But we also feel very strongly about the fact that the management are not consulting the unions as they are required to do in law and that they have not considered alternatives like a freeze on new appointments. "
One of the issues in dispute is whether students who did not take their assessments at the end of the year but were intending to take them the following year should be classified as drop-outs. Hefc considers them to have dropped out and says that its funding definitions apply to all universities regardless; UCU believes they should not be classified in this way on the grounds that they need all the help they can get to complete the course.
The dispute has also hit the House of Commons. An early day motion signed by MPs says that the scale of the cuts — an £ 18m reduction in teaching budgets and £ 38m in claw-backs for previous years — "throws the future viability of the university into doubt at a time when education and training are vital to the capital’s economic health".
" London Met on the Roper" implies that______.
选项
A、Brian Roper is in power
B、London Met is at risk
C、London Met is facing a brain drain
D、Brian Roper is losing credibility
答案
B
解析
细节推理题。根据题干信息定位到原文第二段。题干中的Roper意为“诱人进入赌场者”。再根据前文中的Save our Staff说明London Met处于危险中。故答案为B。
