And this is what was reported in Warwick:
"Disgruntled lecturers will tomorrow attempt to inflict a fatal
blow on the Vice-Chancellor's dream of opening a £294m Singapore
campus. The crucial vote by senior academics at the University
Senate is "too close to call" according to several well placed
sources. Many staff are opposed to the plans over the financial
risk involved, worries over academic freedom and a perceived threat
to Warwick's reputation.
A full feasibility study, the cost of which went over-budget by 100
percent to £800,000, had reported that the venture would be
financially viable but gave no guarantees on academic freedom or
human rights.
A confidential University letter sent last week, obtained by the
Boar, reveals a last gasp attempt to obtain concessions from the
Singapore government on the lingering question of academic
freedom......"
