Universities have ‘lost sight of responsibility over public money’
- The Office for Students released a report last week highlighting serious financial challenges facing UK universities in 2024-25.
- These challenges stem from both government neglect and proposed immigration reforms restricting student visas from countries like Nigeria and Pakistan.
- The report forecasts a third consecutive year of financial decline, with 43 percent of institutions expected to run deficits and leadership salaries remaining high despite poor outcomes.
- OfS stated, "sector leadership needs to grasp the nettle," while Jennie Lee emphasized, "only the best is good enough for students" seeking quality degrees.
- The government intends to introduce university reforms and overhaul the student loan system this summer, with the goal of strengthening higher education’s role in driving economic development and opportunity.
