Co-operative University and Business School
Co-operatives Yorkshire and the Humber board member Dr Rory Ridley-Duff has written a discussion document to take forward the idea of a co-operative business school. It is also being circulated to the wider co-operative movement so that members can feed into discussions at the formative stage. The idea of a Co-operative University is not entirely new. It was put forward a couple of years ago by Pat Juby and Chris Herries during a doctoral study. At a ‘lite-bite’ session at Co-operative Congress on Saturday 24th June organised by the UK Society of Co-operative Studies, the following question was put to Congress: “Is it time we had a Co-operative Business School in a UK University?”
The document will be discussed further at a Special Workshop of Futures North on the 2nd November.
