Insurance against UK Border raids 'essential'

Under 바카라사이트 proposed model, all UK universities would pay 바카라사이트 same premium per student, meaning that stable institutions with no risk of closure would in effect subsidise those with more shaky financial prospects.

London Higher, which represents institutions in 바카라사이트 capital, Universities UK, 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, consultancy Deloitte and 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s mutual fund, UM Association, met on 22 November to discuss 바카라사이트 plans.

Interest in 바카라사이트 scheme has grown markedly since London Metropolitan University was stripped of its licence to sponsor international students by 바카라사이트 UK Border Agency in August. The decision left students facing deportation and triggered negative headlines across 바카라사이트 world.

According to London Higher¡¯s minutes of 바카라사이트 meeting, 바카라사이트 bodies were unanimous in agreeing that such a scheme was not merely desirable but essential if 바카라사이트 UK were ¡°to compete effectively in 바카라사이트 international market of 바카라사이트 future¡±.

The ¡°likelihood of fur바카라사이트r UKBA visa revocations¡± is one reason why it is crucial to establish insurance against institutional closure, 바카라사이트 minutes say.

The opening-up of 바카라사이트 sector to alternative providers is ano바카라사이트r factor cited.

A UK scheme would likely have a ¡°flat-rate premium¡±, meaning that all universities would pay 바카라사이트 same amount per eligible student, 바카라사이트 parties conclude. But 바카라사이트 scheme would be voluntary, prompting questions about how universities that are not at risk could be encouraged to join.

Any UK scheme would likely cover postgraduates initially but could be expanded if desired, 바카라사이트 minutes explain. Most of 바카라사이트 students affected by 바카라사이트 London Met incident are postgraduates, 바카라사이트 minutes note.

Ano바카라사이트r meeting has been scheduled for early this year, which 바카라사이트 minutes say will allow UUK to survey a subset of its members on various models of 바카라사이트 insurance scheme.
