Market forces and the charge of the fees brigade: universities should ignore the exchequer and set their own fees
Article Abstract:
Universities in the UK should set their own student fees for courses in the current climate of reduced public spending and falling government subsidies for higher education. Fees should be determined by the market and imposed on a subject-by-subject basis, with each university responsible for its own fee policy, disregarding any government input.
