A TASKFORCE revealed plans yesterday for a wide-ranging reform of the way universities receive public cash.
The body, created last year by Fiona Hyslop, the education secretary, and Sir Muir Russell, the Universities Scotland convener, published its final report alongside a Scottish Funding Council report on how the reform would be implemented.

The shake-up calls for two funds for universities – a general fund for mainstream work and a "horizon" fund to help them achieve Scottish Government priorities.

A good start would be to withdraw funding from pseudo scientific quack courses:

Napier University

Bachelor of Arts:
Complementary Healthcare (Aromatherapy)
Complementary Healthcare (Reflexology)
Complementary Therapies Practitioner Conversion Course - Aromatherapy

Bachelor of Science:
Herbal Medicine


UHI Millennium Institute

HND and HNC in Complementary Therapies (including aromatherapy and reflexology)


Central College in Glasgow

HND Complementary Therapies
VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Holistic Therapies
Certficate In Reflexology
Certificate in Clinical Aromatherapy
Certificate in Thai Herbal Compress Massage
HN Unit Stone Therapy
Intro To Mind & Body Therapies
Introduction to Aromatherapy
Introduction to Reflexology

'Stone Therapy'! FFS! All these 'dumbed down' courses have no place in Higher Education, are an insult to those doing 'proper' degrees and a waste of public money.
