	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Russell Group of Universities
		The Russell Group of Universities is an informal representative body for certain research-led British universities.
		The group presents itself as a kind of Ivy League of prestigious universities, though some top research universities (notably the University of Durham and the University of York) are not members.
		The group's purpose is to represent the views of their institutions (especially in lobbying government and parliament) and to commission reports to support their case.

		The Russell Group of universities is a self-selected group of large research-led British universities; 18 of its 19 members are in the top 20 in terms of research funding.

		The group is chaired by Professor Michael Sterling, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Birmingham.

	Education \| Russell group applauds higher white paper
		The Russell group of leading research-intensive universities today welcomed the government's white paper on higher education, which proposes top-up fees and more concentration of research funding.
		In contrast to new university heads, who expressed concern about losing research funding and the creation of a two-tier system, the vice-chancellors of the 16 English Russell group universities called the white paper "a welcome step in the future development of higher education in England".
		The Russell group statement is tactfully silent on the proposal, but stressed members were "already committed to fairness and social justice and are very active in their delivery in the university context".

		Its chancellor, Chris Patten, thinks that universities should be able to charge whatever fees they like to undergraduates, as they do for postgraduates, otherwise the decline of top universities will be "ineluctable" (a wonderful Oxford word).
		Depending on the audience, it sometimes means Oxford and Cambridge, sometimes half a dozen ancient universities, and sometimes all 19 members of the Russell group.
		The Russell group universities distinguish themselves by claiming to be "research-intensive" - that is, to have a bigger proportion of research, and a smaller one of teaching, than the rest.

	Bristol University - Standard & Poors UK Universities Conference
		The vision of a university is not just teaching and research but encompasses many aspects, such as future size, its relationship with its locality and region, its international profile and its areas of excellence.
		If you want to be a university of international calibre, you need to have people of international calibre on your governing body, people who are behind that ambition and who can realise it, and assist and advise on the realisation of it.
		This is not whingeing; merely a statement of the facts of life in universities at the moment, a situation facing many sectors outside of higher education.

		Straight As are generally the minimum requirement, though the university has been known to offer a little leeway for some state school applicants.
