Comment on Golden age of English universities could be over, says head of watchdog
jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 months agoOn the flip side a lot of places then just become diploma mills pushing international students through programs because they pay full price. You see this a lot in the US, where money is first and quality education second.

True. But foreign students have always been a huge amount of UK university funding. Basically from as far back as the 1800s.
Limiting them is not the solution. Nor is it the cause of diploma mills. Reduction in government funded research grants is what forced uni to move to tick box education. And government desire to avoid administration costs is what leads to Unis without the strong educational ethics taking advantage of it.
