what we're looking for from the new government is the opportunity for a reset, and the opportunity to look right across the funding arrangements for fees and with students.
the major problem with university finance is that for the past eight to nine years, direct government grants and fees haven't kept up with the cost of teaching and with inflation.
we think that there needs to be a good dialogue with government in partnership about the relationship between the direct teaching grant that government can provide and the fees that students pay.
we are alert to the fact, of course, that when you say fees should go up, people are alarmed at the consequences for students.
