With funding cuts well underway and many institutions already
promising to charge the maximum 9,000 (approx. $15,000 USD) yearly
tuition fee in Britain, university education for the majority is
under threat. This book exposes the true motives behind the
government's program and provides the analytical tools to fight it.
Widespread student protests and occupations, often supported by
staff, unions, and society at large, show the public's opposition
to funding cuts and fee increases. The contributors to this sharp,
well-written collection, many of whom are active participants in
the anti-cuts movement, outline what's at stake and why it matters.
They argue that university education is becoming increasingly
skewed towards vocational degrees, which devalues the arts and
social sciences subjects that allow creativity and political
inquiry to flourish. Released near the beginning of the new
academic year, this book will be at the heart of debates around the
future of higher education in the UK and beyond, inspiring both new
and seasoned activists in the fight for the soul of our
universities.
