There is a pretty significant point accidentally made by the OP though. Under the current system it is impossible to assess the value for money of the university system as we don't know how much of the fee burden will need to be picked up by the taxpayer.

I am almost certain that is the point he was trying to make.

Universities are assessed via REF and TEF (whether they're fit for purpose is another argument) and these measures are linked to funding, so in reality value for money can be calculated to some degree. The average joe public may not know how much tax payer money has gone where, but that info will be recorded - how it's spent is a different matter.

I a world where we would all like to see tuition fee's driven down , and debt to young students reduced any investigation on how our public money is spent welcome .


I am reminded of this story line
