But they don't see the political cost. >1000 jobs cut @sheffielduni and @sheffhallamuni due part to the lack of central government understanding of/or interest in, the sector. An economic hit that is mirrored in many university towns/cities. https://t.co/pZUG3Gvoop

Wrecking UK universities carries political cost University vote is heavily concentrated in key constituencies Will Gov't realise before it’s too late? They’re too busy chasing the Lab/REFORM swing voter that lives mostly in their spin doctors’ PowerPoints @bphillipsonMP

One of the most stupid ideas that they could have come up with. @UKLabour will be wiped out at the next election, alternating their core voters with policies like this, and turning the average individual towards extreme right wing parties. Staff in HE feel betrayed.
What is it with @UKLabour? A 6% tax on OS student fees will cost more jobs in @UniversitiesUK institutions that are already in dire financial straits. @sheffielduni & @sheffhallamuni have already shed 100s of jobs. That may = a lot of lost votes. @timeshighered

A pleasure to appear on Radio Four this morning speaking about the current financial issues that universities are experiencing. Thank you for the invitation to participate and comment on how the current funding model puts universities at significant risk.
