Kunstgoddess, Artressa Phunding and her liebesfreund, the Pimp, discuss the External Examiner Scandal at Kingston University, London.
Together they read from evidence provided by a whistleblower to the BBC, the Surrey Comet the the Higher Education Funding Council of England (HEFCE), and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), as well as from findings of QAA's Cause for Concern Inquiry in an effort to get to the bottom of this disgraceful course of events.
Was one of the External Examiners at Kingston's School of Music' pressured into changing her rather critical report on quality standards in the School?
Did the School Staff collude on ensuring that future Examiners would be more 'sympathetic' (less critical) to the School?
Did the University Press Office issue a misleading statement to the Surrey Comet?
What REALLY happened? And what does this mean for the quality of education on offer at Kingston?
