Paperback. Condition: New. One year into the task of putting University London Central back on its feet, trouble-shooting Vice-Chancellor Professor Clifford Conquest is battling those who, 'in dribs and drabs, defraud my students of the education they deserve'. His political star is in the ascendant and the ambition to be an important figure of the Centre Left in a reformed Labour party comes closer. But no! His aim is threatened by the forces of the Rising Left - not least on his governing body - bent on displacing the Centre Left. Both factions regard universities as their intellectual stronghold in danger of becoming a plaything of the Right. When a magnetic couple from the world of cinema attend Graduation Day, Conquest's ambitions for The New University are given renewed impetus.

The value of arcane research fields is called into question and professors revolt. Can Conquest fight off the doctrinaire forces of the Rising Left determined to derail his ambitions? Like any Public Sector samurai, he dons a fresh suit and takes the fight to his enemies. Will Higher Education be reborn? Can he out-connive the connivers? Do the polemical hardliners out-fox him? Even in his darkest hour there are glimpses of stardust; ideals to guide him onwards. For one driven by the highest motives success is truly glorious, even if threatened by the occasional fumble.…

Paperback. Condition: New. University London Central, a "middling" university, finds itself in a scandalous mess.  "Special measures" require the wholesale removal of its administration. The new vice-chancellor, Professor Clifford Conquest, is a seasoned public sector "enforcer"; a dedicated organisation man facing multiple challenges. His greatest is a chance encounter with a beautiful pole dancer, Juliette Burton.  He is unable to shake off his obsession with her. She is, as misfortune would have it, a student of his university. His conflicting impulses - to manage his university judiciously and further his erotic imaginings - put him in danger of becoming the target of the very machinery of academic disciplining he has set in motion. Schemes designed to rectify the ills of the university begin to crumble: inept academics defy his attempts to discredit them, an insurrection of Chinese students turns ugly and a symbolic dismemberment threatens his career. At the centre of this whirlwind is the self-possessed Juliette, tantalisingly out of reach. Can Conquest continue his rise to greater things? Or will the enemies of moral turpitude gathering in the darker corners of the senior common room destroy him? Surely, even a man driven by ambition and a belief in his inevitable rise to the very top, must have his sensual self. however foolish it might make him seem.…
