Letter: Imperial College
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I can assure Professor Kurti (Letters, 27 October) that were this college to devolve from the University of London - and we have only just embarked on examining the possibility of so doing - we would not wish to change our name. We might turn out to be one of the few multi-faculty institutes of higher education in the United Kingdom who manage without 'university' in the title, but, as Professor Kurti points out, there are flourishing, world-class centres of teaching and research in a similar position who show no signs of deprivation.
Yours faithfully,
ERIC ASH
The Rector
Imperial College of Science,
