Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : It comes after the sector was left disappointed by the Budget last week, with the University and Colleges Union describing its content as "thin gruel" for higher education.
42% : The general secretary Jo Grady also criticised the rise in employer national insurance contributions, which she said would "hit the sector hard when higher education is already on its knees".Universities UK - a group of 141 universities - called earlier this year for tuition fees to be "index-linked to inflation, not to address the funding shortfall, but to allow fee income to maintain its real-terms value over time".
