Art college backs merger with university
THE merger of two prestigious higher education institutions came a step closer this week, as the board at Edinburgh College of Art backed the move.
Now Edinburgh University's ruling court is to decide at its meeting on Monday whether it, too, will support the joining the college and the university.
The move, which emerged in light of feared impending financial cuts, could happen by 2012.
