Very much looking forward to this week’s Board of Governors meeting, at which the VC and his cronies will, as usual, blame others while maintaining that we’re about to hit a gold mine although sadly a lot of colleagues won’t be here to share the loot.
'Despite these concerns, little positive news is expected for universities in the upcoming budget....the focus will...be on the proposed international student levy, which would result in universities being taxed on their income from overseas students.' 2/3
