Today’s papers

The London School of Economics, King’s College London and the School of Oriental and African Studies could be prevented from recruiting international students, reports The Guardian, It says that the trio are likely to perform poorly in the teaching excellence framework, which may lead to restrictions on international recruitment. Meanwhile the Higher Education Funding Council for England is now saying that universities will learn how they are likely to fare in the teaching excellence framework next week, rather than in a few days’ time. Apologies for the confusion.
