Funding higher education institutions is inextricably entwined with funding student support. The contested terrain between them is a legitimate area for struggle between university, student and state, not solely for who should contribute to the cost but increasingly for the level of the contribution. Factors underpinning the decision by Gillian Shephard, who at the time was Secretary of State for Education and Employment, to establish a National Committee of Inquiry are identified and discussed. Policy is interpreted as a process a dynamic process rather than product, and as a consequence the paper explores the contextual dimension of those engaged in the struggle to influence policy. The contribution and influence of educational research underpinning policy is considered. Finally the paper identifies some of the potential obstacles to the successful implementation of a funding policy for higher education
