<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I've had a look at the invitation - belatedly I'm afraid, as you're probably just about to send it out.</span>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It's very comprehensive and clear. Just a few minor, some would say pedantic, points.</span>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span>- The phrase 'worker-student cooperative' doesn't really reflect the SSC's notion that lecturers and students are together in the category of academic members. How about 'lecturer-student cooperative'? Or simply 'not-for-profit cooperative'?</span>
</span>

<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span>- The notion that SSC is a radical alternative to higher education should probably read that the SSC is a radical alternative form of higher education provision.</span>
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span>- And finally, I definitely wouldn't say that each student will receive a certificate of higher education, since a Certificate in Higher Education is a specific level 4 (1st year UG) qualification which the SSC is not offering, and in any case is at a level below what we hope students will achieve at the SSC.</span>

<span>Sorry again if this is a bit last minute,</span>
