Oxbridge is a "portmanteau" (composite word) of "Oxford" and "Cambridge", both elite universities in the United Kingdom.

A vigilance committee is an unofficial grouping within a trade union, formed for the purpose of putting pressure on that union's leadership to pursue alternative policies or to pursue existing policies with increased vigour.
 Vigilance committees are usually formed when large numbers of union members disagree with the union's official policy, believe that they cannot trust the leadership to protect their interests properly, or that it is necessary for union members to scrutinise the actions of the leadership.
 In the United Kingdom, vigilance committees were widespread during the 1920s, appearing, for example, amongst seamen, dockers and railwaymen.
 These vigilance committees were influenced by communist militants of the National Minority Movement.
 Vigilance committees were also common in 1940s or 1950s, although by this stage most such bodies did not use the term vigilance committee, preferring alternate terms such as "Reform Movement".
The "golden triangle" is an unofficial grouping of elite universities located in the English cities of Cambridge, London and Oxford, as listed below:
Executive education (Exec.
 Ed) refers to academic programs at graduate-level business schools worldwide for executives, business leaders and functional managers.
 These programs are generally non-credit and non-degree-granting, but sometimes lead to certificates. Estimates by "Business Week" magazine suggest that executive education in the United States is approximately an $800 million annual business with approximately 80 percent provided by university-based business schools.
 Key players in university-based executive education span elite universities, as well as many regional and mid-sized universities and business schools around the world.
Yield protection (commonly referred to as Tufts syndrome) is an alleged admissions practice where a university or academic institution rejects or wait-lists highly qualified students on the grounds that such students are bound to be accepted by more prestigious universities or programs.
 However, alternate theories regard the yield protection as a myth propagated by college students who failed to gain admission to elite universities.

Todd Joseph Miles Holden (also known as T.J.M. Holden and Todd Holden) is an American-born social scientist, essayist, philosopher, and novelist.
 He was the first tenured foreign professor at Tohoku University, one of Asia’s elite universities, where he taught for 26 years.
