That link makes no sense to me what the hell is a Digital University, one where everyone learns in binary?
I don’t fully get the page, but surely a University contract is to provide a service to them as an independent institution and not funded by central government.
Possibly, but doesn’t it also show that we’re obsessed with outsourcing and privatization?
Not necessarily, there will always be things that councils, NHS, etc. won’t or can’t do in house. Outsourcing isn’t necessarily good or bad, it’s an option and the quality depends how you use it and how you manage it.
