Can Oxford be Improved? - A View from the Dreaming Spires and the Satanic Mills (Paperback)

In December 2006, dons at Oxford University caused turmoil by rejecting a set of governance reforms that were championed by their own vice-chancellor. This book is a response to these events, addressed in large part to Oxford's funders - government and benefactors - and is essential reading for all with an interest in the future of this great university. Sir Anthony Kenny was formerly Master of Balliol College, Oxford and president of the British Academy. He is the author of many books on philosophy and over forty years has held almost every kind of post in Oxford from graduate student to pro-vice-chancellor. Robert Kenny is managing director of a consulting firm.
