Manage episode 484206660 series 2030633
This week on the podcast we examine the government's brutal funding cuts to universities. What does the £108m reduction in the Strategic Priorities Grant mean for higher education, and why are media studies and journalism courses losing their high-cost subject funding?

With Shân Wareing, Vice Chancellor at Middlesex University, Richard Brabner, Executive Chair at the UPP Foundation, Debbie McVitty, Editor at Wonkhe and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
Why not take a risk-based approach to discrimination or harassment on campus?
For those in HE cold spots, higher education isn’t presenting as a good bet
A review of student suicides suggests that standards are now necessary
What have coroner’s reports said about student suicide?
A brutal budget for strategic priorities from the Department for Education
Why are we so embarrassed about Erasmus?
