Scotland's higher education institutions must not lose out if teaching funds for the Open University in Scotland are transferred north of the border, the AUTS has warned. The government is consulting over transferring teaching funds from the Higher Education Funding Council for England to the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council. The AUTS welcomes the prospect, but says there should be a period when any changes due to differences in funding mechanisms could be phased in.
