The Guardian: Cash-starved universities will have huge classes, says union
Lecturers claim savage government cuts will close universities and send 14,000 academics to the dole queue
Universities in the UK will be among the most overcrowded in the world within three years if savage government cuts to higher education go ahead, academics warned today.
The lecturers’ union, UCU, said more than £900m of cuts announced last month would fill lecture halls with “some of the biggest class sizes in the world” by 2013.
