HEFCE's dealings with London Metropolitan University (LMU)
The scale of the funding adjustments to LMU and the public interest it has generated, including many Freedom of Information requests, are exceptional and unprecedented. We have decided therefore to release information relating to our dealings with the University.
The information includes an overview of the events, a timeline and supporting information. The Information also includes an externally commissioned report, following an independent review by KPMG, of the lessons we have learned or need to learn from this exceptional case. The University is also commissioning a lessons learned review for its own purposes. A further report on an independent audit of student records at the University by BDO Stoy Hayward cannot be released at this time for legal reasons.
