English: Thank you for that answer, of course, but I think many of the universities would say back to that that they need imminent support because they are making those cutbacks in the here and now, and any intervention that you can make as Minister would be welcome. I'd like to turn finally to Swansea University and governance issues in higher education. Yesterday, my colleague Helen Mary Jones asked a business question in relation to this and was told that the Welsh Government couldn't comment on an ongoing investigation. Now, a Swansea University spokesperson told the BBC yesterday that a thorough investigation had taken place before the suspensions, but then in the same statement said that there is an ongoing investigation. So, which is it? Can you clarify here today? The vice-chancellor himself has said that no material evidence was provided to him prior to the suspension and that there has been a serious breach of due process. This is a respected vice-chancellor of 15 years who has been suspended. He was barred from his home, under which university rules say is his home - he's required to live in it. I've been told that the process of investigating has actually stalled and not much is happening at all, and I've also been told that there's anger and concern regarding the way in which all this has been conducted. We are talking about a major institution here in Swansea, bringing economic returns for the area that know no bounds in relation to the work that has been happening in the school of management, for example, in the last few years. We've also seen that the university court has been postponed. Why is the governance element of the university being postponed at short notice, without telling Assembly Members why this is? I, personally, don't believe that it's good enough for you to say that you have no comment to make. What are you going to do to hold these institutions to account to ensure that the governance process is adhered to appropriately and that we can be assured that Higher Education Funding Council for Wales money is being spent in the right and proper way, so that we all here can hold this Government and the university sector to account? Do we need reform in the governance of universities here in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, wrth gwrs, ond credaf y byddai llawer o'r prifysgolion yn ateb hynny drwy ddweud bod angen cymorth brys arnynt gan eu bod yn gwneud y toriadau hynny ar hyn o bryd, ac y byddai unrhyw ymyriad y gallwch ei wneud fel Gweinidog yn cael croeso. Hoffwn droi, yn olaf, at Brifysgol Abertawe a phroblemau llywodraethu ym maes addysg uwch. Ddoe, gofynnodd fy nghyd-Aelod Helen Mary Jones gwestiwn busnes mewn perthynas â hyn a dywedwyd wrthi na allai Llywodraeth Cymru wneud sylwadau ar ymchwiliad sydd ar y gweill. Nawr, dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Prifysgol Abertawe wrth y BBC ddoe fod ymchwiliad trylwyr wedi'i gynnal cyn yr ataliadau dros dro, ond yn yr un datganiad, dywedodd fod ymchwiliad ar y gweill. Felly, pa un sy'n wir? A allwch egluro hynny yma heddiw? Mae'r is-ganghellor ei hun wedi dweud na ddarparwyd unrhyw dystiolaeth berthnasol iddo cyn iddo gael ei atal a bod yma dramgwydd difrifol yn erbyn y drefn briodol. Dyma is-ganghellor uchel ei barch ers 15 mlynedd sydd wedi'i atal o'i swydd. Fe'i gwaharddwyd o'i gartref, sef y man y dywed rheolau'r brifysgol yw ei gartref - mae gofyn iddo fyw ynddo. Rwyf wedi clywed bod y broses o ymchwilio wedi dod i stop ac nad oes llawer yn digwydd o gwbl, ac rwyf hefyd wedi clywed bod dicter a phryder ynghylch y ffordd y cyflawnwyd hyn oll. Rydym yn sôn am sefydliad pwysig yma yn Abertawe, sy'n dod â manteision economaidd di-ben-draw i'r ardal o ran y gwaith sydd wedi bod yn mynd rhagddo yn yr ysgol reolaeth, er enghraifft, dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf. Rydym hefyd wedi gweld bod llys y brifysgol wedi'i ohirio. Pam fod elfen lywodraethu'r brifysgol yn cael ei gohirio ar fyr rybudd, heb ddweud pam wrth Aelodau'r Cynulliad? Yn bersonol, ni chredaf ei bod yn ddigon da ichi ddweud nad oes gennych unrhyw sylwadau i'w gwneud. Beth y bwriadwch ei wneud i ddwyn y sefydliadau hyn i gyfrif er mwyn sicrhau y cedwir at y broses lywodraethu yn briodol ac y gellir rhoi sicrwydd inni fod cyllid Cyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru yn cael ei wario yn y ffordd iawn a phriodol, fel y gall pob un ohonom yma ddwyn y Llywodraeth hon a'r sector prifysgolion i gyfrif? A oes angen diwygio llywodraethiant prifysgolion yma yng Nghymru?
