The university system in the UK is in trouble:
Over the last two weeks, more than 1,000 redundancies have been announced by just four institutions, sparking concerns about the long-term health of the sector. With institutions cutting courses to make savings, questions are being raised over the ability of universities to train enough people with the research skills the country needs.
The new(ish) government needs to act, as every round of cuts threatens the UK’s long-term competitiveness.
