News, analysis and explanation of higher education issues from our leading team of wonks

This week on the podcast there’s new data on the financial health of universities - we discuss how higher education is coping with inflation and frozen fees.

Plus we discover how much students are getting from universities in financial help, universities are leaving the CBI just as soon as people realised they were members, and there’s a new commitment out on improving accessibility for disabled students.

With Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University of Glasgow, Mary Stuart, Director of Leadership Development at Minerva, Debbie McVitty, Editor at Wonkhe and presented by Mark Leach, Editor in Chief at Wonkhe.
