Fees will not save courses, v-cs say

Article Abstract:

University heads doubt that the new fee and bursary regime will generate enough additional income to prevent course closures or attract more working-class students to higher education, according to a survey by KPMG and The Times Higher Education Supplement of 72 universities and colleges. While 82% of those surveyed acknowledged that the extra money from variable tuition fees, bursaries and grants would help their financial position, 44% believed that this would not be enough to prevent course closures.

Concerns still remain, however, that students could be confused about key financial information as they make their choice of which university to attend.
