The Council for the Defence of British Universities (CDBU) is pleased to announce that it is hosting a symposium on the subject of academic governance, in collaboration with Influencing Corridors of Power (ICOP) at SOAS on July 11.
The symposium will be an all-day event of 4 sessions, with a number of highly distinguished and expert speakers. The aim of the day will be critically to examine the state of the governance of UK universities.

The event promises to make a significant and timely contribution to the present debate. Lunch will be available (free of charge).
