I'm not sure that the public purse will be making up income shortfalls but the Government may encourage mergers to take some of the weaker players out. They believe the sector as a whole is strong financially, but the financial strength is uneven between universities.
Universities may have to re-think the balance of international students, but it's probably too early in the day to assume that international students are not coming this academic year. Other countries are taking similar approaches to ours and if they don't take a course, what will they do instead, given that many countries' job markets are tough right now?
