Universities alarmed by 40% cut to teaching budgets when a new goverment was establish. More than a third of england's universities may be forced to close or merge as a result of swingening public cut to higher education.
The University and College Union (UCU) examined the finances of the 130 universities and specialist colleges in England in light of government plans to cut funding for teaching degrees by 80%. Only a few "priority" courses – in maths and sciences, say – would still receive public money.Instead, ministers intend to shift the cost of the majority of courses to graduates, with plans to raise tuition fees in England to a maximum of £9,000 a year from the current £3,290.
