UUK raises ‘significant concerns’ about OfS proposals

Vice-chancellors’ group expresses concern over impact on access and international recruitment from OfS consultation

Universities UK has warned that the Office for Students’ proposals on measuring quality and standards in higher education could have “unintended consequences” for institutions

The vice-chancellors’ body said it had “significant concerns” about the impact of proposals in the OfS’s consultation on quality and standards, which it said could cause a regulatory split between England and other UK nations and make it harder to market UK higher education to international students.
