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

The amount that EU students may have to pay to come to a UK university has been across the news this week, and our guests analyse the debate. We also talk ONS figures on “over-education”, the UUK/NUS report on the BME attainment gap and Cambridge’s decision to look into its past. We also catch up with OfS’ Richard Puttock about data.

With Rachel Hall, Universities Editor at the Guardian, Alec Cameron, Vice Chancellor of Aston University, and Wonkhe’s Jim Dickinson.

Items this week:

Yes – but does it correlate?
