Are universities transparent enough?

FOI Man talks to Times Higher Education about universities and openness.

Times Higher Education magazine this week features an article about…higher education, and how open and transparent it is. I was interviewed for this feature a few weeks ago – wonder at my high rhetoric – “[FOI is seen] as a pain in the backside”. Seriously, it’s a comprehensive survey of all aspects of transparency in the UK university sector, including everything from FOI to open data to MOOCs (that’s massive open online courses for those of you not in the know).
