Scotland’s universities have demanded that SNP ministers urgently find £130 million to fully fund their free tuition policy, after the coronavirus crisis left institutions staring into financial abyss.
In a stark submission to a Holyrood inquiry, Universities Scotland, warned of the “dire” situation facing the higher education sector and claimed that the fall-out from the pandemic “will be an existential threat to some institutions."
An anticipated collapse in international student numbers, whose large tuition fees have been used to subsidise free tuition for Scottish and EU undergraduates, could leave the sector facing a deficit of up to £651 million by 2020-21.
