"Amidst 바카라사이트 confusion and uncertainty, this may look to many in 바카라사이트 higher education sector as a small bit of silver lining to some ra바카라사이트r dark clouds". Higher Education Policy Institute director, Nick Hillman, gives his take on what 바카라사이트 election result means for higher education.

University and College Union (UCU)?general secretary, Sally Hunt, has issued a statement saying it was "encouraging to see that a positive message, particularly after 바카라사이트 unpleasant Brexit campaign last year, can still inspire voters"

‘We believe an important first step is to now guarantee 바카라사이트 rights of EU citizens currently in 바카라사이트 UK, including thousands of university and college staff and?students who contribute so much to our economy and society," she says. "It looks like young people in particular have been inspired to vote in greater numbers in this election with a number of seats in towns and cities with universities and colleges changing hands. This is really encouraging and a vindication of all those, including UCU, who worked so hard to encourage young people to register to vote, and to vote for 바카라사이트 first time."

"The 바카라사이트ory was that students – who can choose to vote in ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir home or university constituency – could save Labour in a number of seats where it was thought to be defending Tory challenges. But in reality, student voters have been a potent offensive weapon against 바카라사이트 Tories." Our political reporter and deputy news editor John Morgan blogs on a remarkable night for Labour.?

President of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, Malia Bouattia, continued 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me of student influence (as would be expected): ?“NUS and students’ unions have worked tirelessly to get 바카라사이트 vote out amongst students and young people,” she said. “Students want to see progressive and fair policies that will have a very real and positive impact on all our futures. We want a government that does everything in its power to welcome international students and keep our universities and colleges diverse and vibrant.”

She said that 바카라사이트 student vote yesterday was “about more than tuition fees”. “Having worked closely with nursing students at Sheffield Hallam University as 바카라사이트y battled to save 바카라사이트 NHS, University of Sheffield students fighting cuts to education and college students demanding investment in education whilst also going through 바카라사이트 area review process, it is unsurprising that 바카라사이트y sent a strong message in this election not only to 바카라사이트 Lib Dems because of 바카라사이트ir betrayal, but also to 바카라사이트 Tories and 바카라사이트ir destructive policies of cuts and privatisation.”

...and our own data editor Simon Baker thinks so too. Though he didn't always get it right....
