here's your headline:

They (OfS) still expect 45% of ALL universities to report a deficit this academic year. They are not accounting for "significant variation" across the system (i.e. different types and sizes of institution).

'The sad fact is that, longer term, this deluge of negative publicity about the value of a degree...will inevitably move from being fodder for anti-HE journalists to actually driving changes in young people’s decision-making'. 3/3

And of course it affects domestic students too. Many courses won’t run without the income from overseas students. Universities are knowledge engines, driving our economy and raising our reputation overseas.

Of course. And it’s also local jobs for a lot of people who aren’t academics — there’s a tendency in Labour I think to assume that it’s just pretentious middle class people losing privileged positions, but my uni employs about 6,000 people and the vast majority of them aren’t lecturers.
