Elite face cuts to teaching grant

Article Abstract:

Under proposals put forward by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, teaching grants awarded to universities offering traditional degrees will be reduced in order to finance courses favoured by the government. If the plans are approved, it will be the second consecutive year that the teaching grants received by "elite" universities will have been cut in order to support non-traditional students.
