UCU responds to select committee report on students and universities

2 August 2009

UCU has welcomed calls from a committee of MPs to introduce a simple national bursary scheme for students. The union also welcomed the committee's call for a full proper review of university tuition fees.

Responding to the Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee's report on students and universities, UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'UCU is delighted the committee has backed our call for one simple national bursary scheme for students.

'It is also heartening that, at a time when a worryingly growing political consensus seems to be that the fees review will merely consider how much they should rise, the committee has highlighted the inequities that part-time and mature students face.'
