Truly, inspiring role models. They should give some TUC solidarity workshops.

On what basis do those VC salaries actually get calculated? It’s not the financial solution to the ails of the sector, but it is symptomatic of the lack of accountability and complete disconnection from reality of management.

Relieved to hear! Local MPs are the way forward to make government see that the collapse of UKHE *is*, in fact, their problem, however much they try to deny it is…

SO much this. They're trying to not make it *management's* problem anymore but are essentially cutting off entire groups of people.

the one good thing is that they clearly underestimated that people would notice and care. our students at southend can’t just pick up their lives and jobs and move to colchester and it’s too far and expensive to commute on public transport. people will simply have to abandon their studies.
