“It is a matter of significant regret that we find ourselves in this very difficult situation,” Prof Laffan said in a statement. The HEA declined to comment publicly, but said it had issued a “statutory request” for a new review. Such requests can be made if the HEA finds there are “significant concerns” about an institution’s governance or performance.
