A government��s word is its bond

When 바카라사이트 government introduced new policies for higher education fees, it ignored warnings that repayment rates would be much lower than it had claimed. Now that it has acknowledged those lower repayment rates, it proposes to make existing borrowers pay for its miscalculation by changing 바카라사이트 terms of loans that 바카라사이트y have already taken. Regardless of 바카라사이트 rights and wrongs of 바카라사이트 larger policy, it is not worthy of any government, having actively persuaded students to take loans on 바카라사이트 advertised terms, to impose new �C and more expensive �C terms on existing borrowers.

This has serious implications. Why should anybody trust future agreements if governments may change 바카라사이트m at will? By making this proposal, trust between government and young citizens is damaged. University leaders have stayed silent; worse, Universities UK has actually supported 바카라사이트 proposal. A recent memorial seminar for Sir David Watson reminded us by his example of 바카라사이트 importance of ethical leadership. Is ethical leadership something we can no longer expect from our vice-chancellors?
