Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Monday, 14-Apr-2025 18:40:10 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The UK's University business model is now pretty stark.... fees from non-UK students, and drawing down reserves (and income from investments) are the only two things left to cross-subsidise the rest of universities' activities (research & the teaching UK students, both of which are 'loss-making').
This model cannot go on forever - international students are in a post-Brexit deciine reserves are by their character, limited!
The crisis in higher education is going to get deeper!
