Time to join the multitudes

There is obviously some confusion at Brunel. ("Controller preparing the platform to elevate Brunel", 28 February). Brunel did not resign from the former Coalition of Modern Universities. It was never a member. In the event that "elevation" to the 1994 Group and Russell Group proves not to be imminent, Brunel is welcome to subscribe to Million+, which, as a university think-tank, has a research and public affairs programme. Disappointing though it may be, the days are long gone when the sector can afford to define itself or to rely on producer-dominated interest groups based solely on QR funding.
