English regulator to measure progress on cutting bureaucracy

Yes, remove TEF, REF, and all these money wasting and useless policies. Cap a university's budget devoted to paying 'leadership' management like VC salaries and the like.

Foster, encourage and reward long term thinking and committment.

About time I have been going on about the need to slash the excessive bureaucracy in UK Universities. It is out of control, full of overpaid bureaucrats means higher fees for students, less pay for the academics since most of the money is being wasted on bureaucrats and overpaid senior managers. Sure we need good front line administrators but we need a lot less of fluffy strategies, quality control types and far less regulation. The best way is to abolish the OfS, the Ref and KEF as they cause most of the bureaucracy.
