Most of their international students came from Nigeria so it’s likely that they were disproportionately affected by the fall in international student numbers.

Uni leaders raced to charge £9k fees, went on massive vanity expansions, VCs had noses in the trough (some took £700,000 a year, others likened themselves to the international football transfer market), they ignored financial risks & now demand the young bail them out with higher fees
