( Photo: Imperial College London)Hugh Brady, the former President of UCD and current President of Imperial College London, is one of Ireland’s foremost authorities on the third-level sector. Therefore, when he warns about the state of Irish universities, as he did in an interview with the Irish Times on Saturday, his views should be taken seriously. Brady quite rightly blames government prevarication on third-level funding as one of the main causes of the parlous state of the university sector. Properly funding third-level education is a route which will yield a significant economic and social return.
