the call was addressed to:
Heads of HEFCE-funded higher education institutions & Heads of universities
in Northern Ireland would not suggest that it applies only to England.

the executive summary reads as follows
apologies for the length of this message

Purpose

1. This document describes the arrangements for capital funding for 2002-04,
announced in the Government's second comprehensive spending review.

Key points

2. We are providing £214 million to improve capital and IT infrastructure to
support learning and teaching in higher education institutions. Of this, £56
million is to improve provision for students with disabilities, in line with
the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and its extension in the Special
Educational
Needs and Disability Act 2001.

3. We are aiming to make these investments in a way that maximises the
effectiveness of the expenditure and minimises the accountability burden of
the process.

4. Institutions' allocations have been determined formulaically.

5. To obtain the funding, institutions will need to identify appropriate
projects in the context of their own strategies and disability access
audits.

Action required

6. Project definition forms should be submitted as soon as possible, and
before 29 March 2002. The application process for disability capital
requires institutions
to undertake an access audit.
