    I’m interested in knowing what type of increase they are purposing and what do the fees cover. Also, are services to your universities also being cut while the fees are being increased?

    Virginia, I guess this is as good a guide as any in providing an impartial summary of the current situation:

    I’m not aware of any official announcements from the University of Nottingham regarding cuts or fee rises. The students’ occupation at the university – one of many across the country – was temporally suspended as a concession to meeting with the vice-chancellor. Here is their account:

    Further demonstrations and occupations are planned for the New Year:
