  1. Religious Literacy Leadership in Higher Education Having Faith - Adding Value 7 February 2011

  2. Whether and if so in what ways the claim that there is a need for greater levels of religious literacy within HE involves a challenge to certain conceptions of HEIs as secular institutions • How the role of the university is contested by this kind of project and how it fits in with current priorities in HEIs

  3. The programme works (97% approval rating) • It is attractive to a diverse range of institutions, people and roles • At VC and PVC level Cathedrals Group institutions participated most and research intensives participated least • At other levels, Russell Group and Alliance Group institutions participated most and there was more religious diversity. • Amongst participating VCs and PVCs none was from a minority faith. • There is a gap between senior participation and that of everybody else • Understand the relationship between senior manager participants and others in terms of how those in non-leadership roles can influence religious literacy • Involve chaplaincies, student experience and equalities staff in more strategic thinking – and in the other direction, to broaden out ownership of religious matters from those three areas to other parts of institutions.
