	University Challenge - UKGameshows
		The composition of the ideal University Challenge team (in terms of what subjects the team members should study and whether the show shouldn't be restricted to undergraduates in the first place anyway) is the subject of many a heated pub debate.
		In the early days, University Challenge followed College Bowl's lead and had a varying score for bonuses (ten, fifteen or twenty points), which was announced by the chairman before reading out the starter question.
		He represented his university in the 1981 series, reaching that year's final, and has since reappeared on several celebrity specials, including the 1992 one against Keble College, Oxford, and at least one of the Angus Deayton-hosted Comic Relief specials, and he presented the trophy to the winners of the Reunited series.

	The university challenge - theage.com.au
		Universities must be strong enough to be very demanding of their students.
		Universities and their graduate supporters must be uncompromising and unapologetic about this.
		In Australia, we should continue to pursue the dual goals for our universities that were laid down for us 50 years ago by Chifley and Menzies: elite institutions with world-class teaching and research; but equal opportunity at entry for all Australians with the necessary ability.

	II Journal: Globalization’s University Challenge
		American universities have struggled hard to engage difference on the national level, and have worked to recognize how being white and male becomes the unmarked and default category for general discussions.
		The university must be that space that forms, supports and moves people like Václav Havel, or the man at the center of his convocation address, President Thomas G. Masaryk, to articulate the truth in public.
		Is the entire university, she asks, prepared to integrate the perspectives of scholars abroad and the needs of dispossessed publics across the world into its articulation of a global mission?

	University challenge for foreign students - Marketing - MyCareer - theage.com.au
		UNIVERSITIES are using increasingly aggressive marketing tactics to attract full-fee-paying international students as the demand for Australian higher education courses falls.
		Bob Birrell, the director of the Centre for Population and Urban Research at Monash University, said in a report this year there was an incentive for universities to allow less competent international full-fee-paying students to proceed through their courses.
		Universities stepped up their investment in these programs about five years ago when the rising costs of living and complicated visa requirements began to discourage students from applying to Australian institutions, said Chris Game, the NSW secretary of the National Tertiary Education Union.

		The purpose of University Challenge is to enable universities to access seed funds in order to assist the successful transformation of good research into good business.
		This early funding is the riskiest stage of the venture process, and many institutions experience a funding gap in the provision of finance for bringing research discoveries to a point where their commercial usefulness can be demonstrated and first steps taken to secure their utility.
		Although no further rounds of ring fenced university challenge funding are planned funding in recognition of the importance of the University challenge concept, seed funding is now one of the strands of the core HEIF programme.

	Central Europe Review - Slovenia: University Challenge
		Speaking to Delo, Tolpak stressed that the European standard of one university per one million inhabitants precludes a third Slovene university, and also argued that such special legislation regulating education was in violation of the 58th article of the Constitution, concerning university autonomy.
		The University has its roots in a 140-year tradition dating back to 1859, when Bishop Slomšek moved the seat of his episcopacy from Labotska Dolina in Carinthia to Maribor, and established a Slovene parochial school which later grew into Maribor's first institution of higher education.
		The challenge posed by the proposed Primorska University is perceived as a real threat to both the University of Maribor and to the city itself.

	University challenge \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		Organisations, including universities, do have the right to refuse to accept those who violate their principles (Oxford suspends don who rejected student for being Israeli, October 28).
		The Israeli army denies access to universities and schools in the occupied territories; a favourite ploy is to prevent students reaching schools and universities for their exams.
		As a punishment it is derisory, as a supposed indication of the university's commitment to eradicating inequality it is, sadly, all too familiar an example of too little too late.

	Portsmouth University on University Challenge
		Several years ago, Manchester University wrecked an edition of the program with the purpose of exposing how unrepresentative the program's contestants are, and its implication that they were somehow superior to the public at large.
		And this is the point, most University students would have great problems answering the questions, whereas many ordinary quiz teams (including large numbers of people with comparitively much less formal education) would have no trouble coping with them.
		University Challenge is returning to television screens in September, but South Wales colleges have failed to make the grade.
