Regulator ‘asleep at the wheel’ over University of Greater Manchester investigation, MP says

Office for Students accused of ‘glacial’ response to allegations of fraud, bullying and mismanagement

England’s universities regulator has been attacked for being “asleep at the wheel” over its delays in investigating suspected fraud, bullying and mismanagement at the University of Greater Manchester.

Phil Brickell, the MP for Bolton West whose constituency includes the campus, has accused the Office for Students (OfS) of failing to act on whistleblowers’ reports and media investigations for almost a year.
