72% of U.K. universities forecast to be running deficits by 2025-26

Seriously.  The list of redundancies and other budget cutting measures at UK universities is already long, and likely to get longer.  Note that the list of redundancies includes many leading UK universities outside Oxbridge, and even some of the London colleges.  Raising tuition a couple hundred pounds is not a solution.  The UK needs some combination of more government funding, higher tuition, and more foreign students or higher education is going to collapse into a shell of its former self.
