I think - I may have misunderstood the system! - that media studies qualifies as being in the lowest of the "price groups" which receive additional funding for being high cost. But at that level the additional funding is so small - not much over £100 per student - that any saving here is tiny.

A question that I haven't heard a good answer to: if cutting migration by a third in a year hasn't changed the narrative on it at all - what would make you think cutting it by another third (or half] would?

“The OfS has not investigated the circumstances that led to Professor Stock’s resignation; it does not have the powers to do this. It insists it was ‘impartial and view-point-neutral', but it has not talked to anyone apart from Professor Stock.” Good to see this robust response from Sussex Uni. 👇
