OverviewIn December 2006, dons at Oxford University caused turmoil by rejecting a set of governance reforms that were championed by their own vice-chancellor. This book is a response to these events, addressed in large part to Oxford's funders - government and benefactors - and is useful reading for those with an interest in the future of this university. Sir Anthony Kenny was formerly Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and president of the British Academy. He is the author of many books on philosophy and over 40 years has held almost every kind of post in Oxford from graduate student to pro-vice-chancellor. Robert Kenny is managing director of a consulting firm.

For they might work.' -- Anthony Smith, President Magdalen College Oxford (1988-2005)'The Kennys, pere et fils--Anthony, the consummate Oxford insider, and Robert, a private sector specialist--have pooled their experience in a search for a solution to the problems of the governance of Oxford University. With the accession to the prime ministership of a politician with no sympathy (unlike his predecessor) for Oxford, the issue is no mere academic one. Not everyone will agree that Oxford's independence can be preserved without Oxford going independent, but everyone can profit from this educated contribution to a debate of national significance.' -- Michael Beloff QC, President Trinity College Oxford (1996-2006)'This book should be read by everyone who cares about the future of Oxford. It makes the case for internally led reforms, and explains why changes will be necessary if the university is to remain among the best in the world.' -- Richard Lambert, Director-General of the CBI'The Kennys have achieved the near impossible and squared the golden circle of Oxford governance. They have also made an impenetrable subject clear and readable. Now it is for Oxford to respond.' -- Simon Jenkins, The Guardian Author InformationSir Anthony Kenny was formerly Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and president of the British Academy.
