Education Your Views: 'New' university's recent triumph
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.Your report on maximum scores in teaching quality assessment visits to subjects in new universities may need updating ("Old vs new: the battle for points in the ratings system", 5 March) American studies at the University of Central Lancashire was graded 24 out of 24 during a recent visit, a result which, by the way, included a top grade of 4 for every single teaching observation. My colleagues and our students were delighted with this result.

Senior lecturer and subject leader, American Studies, University of Central Lancashire, Preston
