Please find, from the link below the comments of the Open University, specifically, the Vice Chancellor, Professor B M Gourlay and their stated intentions as to how they are going to tackle the problem:-
Open University commentary 4th April 2008
I think that this is a pretty fair assessment of what is going on. What is extremely worrying is that at the end of the period, the OU will lose £29.8m per anumn if they do not find funding from other sources. That is why this policy cannot succeed and I call on everyone to continue campaigning against this policy and especially the attitude of the Secretary of State for Universities who, it must be said, is hardly acting in a democratic manner.
