There's little to invest. Tuition fees were increased as teaching grants were slashed. Basically, the part of higher education that was publicly funded was taken away, and students are expected to foot the bill. There's no extra money...

Then again, the population of the US is 5 times that of the UK, which still makes them outscore us by 2:1. Then again again, what's a 'degree awarding institution'? Does 'college' count, when the topic is Universities?
