History

edit
Professor at the University Oxford, Author John Ruskin made the inauguration speech at the Cambridge School of Art in 1858. Anglia Ruskin University is built on the foundation of the school of art, which is located at ARU Cambridge.

Anglia Ruskin University has its origins in the Cambridge School of Art, founded byWilliam John Beamontin 1858. The inaugural address was given byJohn Ruskin,who is often incorrectly described as the founder. The original location was nearSidney Sussex College,but it later moved to its current location on East Road, Cambridge.[7]

In the 1920s, the governing body included two remarkable pioneers in the civic history of Cambridge:Clara RackhamandLilian Mellish Clarke,after whom buildings on the East Road campus were later named. In 1960, this institution became the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology (CCAT). In 1989, CCAT merged with the Essex Institute of Higher Education, which was originally a vocational school named Chelmsford School of Science and Art and later known as Mid Essex Technical College and Chelmer Institute of Higher Education, to form Anglia Higher Education College.

The merged college became a polytechnic in 1991, adopting the name Anglia Polytechnic, and was awarded university status in 1992. Initially called Anglia Polytechnic University (APU), it retained the term 'polytechnic' in its title because it symbolized the type of education known for equipping students with practical skills for the workforce. However, in 2000 there was some uncertainty about including 'polytechnic' in the title since it was the only university in the country to do so. Wanting to keep the 'APU' abbreviation, a suggestion put forward by the governors was 'Anglia Prior University' (after a former ChancellorJim Prior), but the Governors decided to keep 'polytechnic' in the title.

The university eventually reconsidered a name change and chose Anglia Ruskin University, incorporating John Ruskin's surname into the title. This change took effect following approval from the Privy Council on 29 September 2005.[8][7][9][10][11]

In 2007 ARU entered into partnership with London College of Accountancy (LCA; founded in 2000). This resulted in the creation of ARU London.[12]

In October 2023, Anglia Ruskin University became the first university in the United Kingdom to sign UNISON's Anti-Racism Charter.[13]

In 2024,Writtle University Collegemerged with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), becoming ARU Writtle.[14]

Former students include the Victorian poetAugusta Webster,who signedJohn Stuart Mill's petition for women's suffrage in 1866. Past lecturers includeOdile Crick,the wife ofFrancis Crick,who created the iconic image of DNA. The musician Syd Barrett, songwriter and lead guitarist of the band Pink Floyd, is also an alumnus. AuthorTom Sharpeserved as a lecturer in history at CCAT from 1963 to 1972, andAnne Campbell,the Labour MP for Cambridge from 1992 to 2005, was previously a lecturer in statistics at CCAT.[15]

Controversies

edit

In aBBC Newsarticle from 3 June 2014, it was reported that Anglia Ruskin University received more complaints and appeals from its students than any of the other 120 universities that responded to freedom of information requests. In the 2012/13 academic year, the university received 992 "complaints and appeals." In response, Lesley Dobree, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), stated that only 9 of the 992 recorded complaints were actual complaints; the others were protests regarding examination and assignment marking.[16]

Pok Wong

edit

In 2019, Hongkonger Pok Wong, a 2014 graduate of Anglia Ruskin University, received a £61,000 out-of-court settlement from the university after suing for false advertising, alleging a low quality of teaching. The university has maintained that the payout does not indicate fault on its part. In 2018, the London County Court ruled in favor of the university and ordered Wong to pay £13,700 of Anglia Ruskin's legal costs. However, the university's insurers later contacted Wong and offered to settle her £15,000 claim while covering her legal costs. Anglia Ruskin added that it did not support the decision made by its insurer's solicitors.[17][18]

The site is currently vacant because the recession halted development that had been planned for many years; however, new plans have been released by Genesis Housing, which currently owns the site.[37][38][39]
