answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2015 answer text <p>In general, universities that receive public grant funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England are private institutions.</p><br /><p>However there are instances where the law does consider them to be public authorities. For example, they are listed in Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as public authorities for the purposes of that Act. However, for the purposes of the Human Rights Act 1998, they are considered to be ‘hybrid’ public authorities, which means that that Act only applies to their public functions, and not their private ones.</p><br /> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 03/12/2015 14:01:20 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>The Higher Education Academy (HEA) report ‘<em>Grade Point Average: Report of the GPA pilot project 2013-14’, </em>published on 28 May 2015, was a result of a review undertaken by HEA’s national Grade Point Average Advisory Group.
