V-c pledges to match fee-debt payments to support students

Bob Cryan, from 바카라사이트 University of Huddersfield, who himself studied at 바카라사이트 institution, said he could not ask 바카라사이트 university¡¯s students to take on a higher debt burden ¡°without being prepared to do it myself¡±.

In an email sent to all staff, Professor Cryan says that when fee levels for 바카라사이트 university are set, he will arrange a standing order to make payments into a student support fund.

His contribution will be based on 바카라사이트 level of repayments faced by future graduates.

In 바카라사이트 message, Professor Cryan says 바카라사이트 university ¡°fundamentally disagrees¡± with 바카라사이트 government¡¯s proposals ¨C passed by 바카라사이트 House of Commons yesterday ¨C to raise 바카라사이트 fee cap to ?9,000 and cut 바카라사이트 teaching budget by 80 per cent.

This ¡°represents 바카라사이트 biggest change in higher education funding in nearly a century¡±, he claims.

However, he says that it is now necessary to focus on 바카라사이트 practicalities.

¡°Between 2012 and 2014 we will lose more than ?45 million in government funding,¡± Professor Cryan writes.

¡°To maintain 바카라사이트 quality of our provision, to ensure our students get 바카라사이트 very best educational opportunities, and to preserve jobs, we now have little choice but to work with 바카라사이트 new system.¡±

Because he had benefited from an ¡°outstanding¡± education at Huddersfield himself, it is only right that he makes a contribution from his own income, Professor Cryan goes on to argue.

His message promises: ¡°Once we have set our fee levels, I intend to take on 바카라사이트 same 30-year tuition fee debt as our future students and will set up a standing order to make payments directly to a student support fund for our university.¡±

Professor Cryan earned ?195,000, including benefits, in 2008-09.
