We know league tables are here to stay (THES, September 25). They sell newspapers and books. They allow education editors to support articles with some "evidence". They are the creation of journalists aimed at what they think readers want.
In The Times Good University Guide it is almost impossible to find any mention that higher education happens anywhere but in universities, and there seems little hope of a fair portrayal of the diversity of HE in the national press. As long as we accept this, then we can get on with providing education, whether in universities or in colleges of HE or FE.
