Russell Group members 'could lose ?80 million' over student shortfall

Wendy Piatt also told a BBC Radio 4 documentary, broadcast this morning, that 바카라사이트 shortfall could cost universities in 바카라사이트 group around ?80 million.

Several universities have struggled to meet targets for student recruitment this year in part due to 바카라사이트 government's reforms allowing unlimited recruitment of undergraduates with A-level grades of AAB or above.

Dr Piatt told 바카라사이트 Universities Challenged documentary, which charted 바카라사이트 progress of 바카라사이트 government's reforms to fees and funding: "Having far fewer students than planned does create a real financial hit.

"It's hard to give a very accurate number, but across 바카라사이트 Russell Group it may amount to something like ?80 million. We're not clear [on 바카라사이트 final total] at 바카라사이트 moment, but it's a significant amount of money."

The programme also featured an interview with Vince Cable, 바카라사이트 business secretary, who said 바카라사이트 AAB reforms were "experimental" and designed to try to free up existing "Stalinist" controls on undergraduate numbers.

Makers of 바카라사이트 documentary were also given inside access to 바카라사이트 University of Bedfordshire, whose former vice-chancellor Les Ebdon was at 바카라사이트 centre of a political row over his appointment as 바카라사이트 new director of fair access.
