Increase in mental illness on campus

Article Abstract:

Growing mental health problems suffered by students are a "matter of considerable concern", warranting dedicated student mental health services in some areas, according to "The Mental Health of Students in Higher Education" report produced by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The report claims that a variety of factors, including the widening and expansion of participation in higher education, may be to blame for the growing number of students reportedly suffering from mental illnesses and that NHS mental health services are often inadequate for students as a result of long waiting times.

Course burden 'hits quality'

Article Abstract:

The rapid rate at which expansion degrees have grown is putting so much pressure on lecturers that they do not have enough time to keep their subject knowledge up to date. As a result of this, lecturers have warned that the quality of the courses they provide could decline as they are forced to forgo professional development.
