Putting students above research

February 2, 2012

The University cannot control the income it receives from external organisations. However, to use student fees to plug the funding gap left by a drop in research funding is wrong. While students realise the need to pay fees for their education, the University should be sourcing money to replace this loss of income itself. The University claim the drop in research income will not have an impact on the teaching experience of students. If this is the case then students should not have to foot the bill for a drop in funding that does not affect their academic experience. The University will have to look for other ways to supplement this drop in research funding. There are plenty of other methods which can be used that don’t involve students’ money and the University should remember this, as their primary concern should be providing for students.
