Chronicle of Higher Education : A report by the European University Association has found that Europe’s universities are increasingly turning toward industry and charities to help fund their teaching and research missions. On average, universities in Europe receive 73% of their funding from government sources, which, in the current worldwide recession, are under pressure. Besides seeking alternative funding, universities are also engaged in debates about tuition. In some countries, such as France, tuition is free, whereas in other countries, such as the UK, students pay a significant share.
