Technological Universities Bill 2015
Public bill · Government · Presented
Creates a new kind of higher education institution, a technological university, by merging selected institutes of technology and setting out how others can join later. It also transfers staff, property, debts, and existing courses into the new bodies, while changing how the governing boards of the Dublin Institute of Technology and the institutes of technology are chosen and run. The changes matter because they are meant to build larger, stronger colleges with clearer routes to university status, stronger research and teaching links, and more accountability.
