Cuts to University Funding

The Report

Available for over a year

The Report investigates the likely impact of public spending cuts on English universities. They've enjoyed a decade of historically-high funding but as budgets tighten, James Silver asks whether universities have done enough in the days of plenty to prepare for leaner times ahead. A number of institutions have significant debts and some commentators predict it's only a matter of time before one university goes bust. Producer: Rob Cave.
