The Croham report has its roots in the Jarratt report on university efficiency; its first fruit is the White Paper on Meeting the Challenge. Croham's message has been significantly transformed, and the last important vestiges of the classical UGC system removed. Detailed examination of both documents nevertheless suggests that not all virtue has gone from the system and that there might yet be hope that the more autocratic wedges inserted by the White Paper will not be driven home. In part this will depend on the universities themselves as well as on the UGC's successor.
