[SSC] How to set up a Co-operative university

[JSat Metu]

Dear Richard,
I was involved in setting up Free University Brighton, following many years
of following by e-mail the evolution of the Lincoln centre. Although I'm
now (regretably) working away from FUB I'd be more than happy to explain
our approach and process or put you in touch with FUB people.

regards

Julian Saurin
