Top UK Universities Warn of Damage from Budget Cuts
The heads of 20 of the UK’s most prestigious universities have warned that government plans to cut funding will lead to a higher education "meltdown".

The article calls for ministers to consider reversing proposed cuts and for assurances that no further cuts will be imposed.
