The report recommended immediate expansion of universities, and that all Colleges of Advanced Technology should be given the status of universities. Consequently, the number of full-time university students was to rise from 197,000 in the 1967 - 68 Academic Year to 217,000 in the academic year of 1973 - 74 with "further big expansion" thereafter. The legacy of the report is plain to see. It led to the establishment of the Plate Glass Universities , notably the universities of University Of Essex , Kent , Lancaster , York and Warwick , amongst others, as well as prompting substantial expansion in the existing universities of the UK. |
