    Under proposed reforms, universities in the UK would be allowed to charge unlimited tuition fees. While vice-chancellors welcomed the changes, students and lecturers expressed dismay. The proposals would see graduates repaying loans over a longer period, with higher-earning graduates paying more. If adopted, critics argue the plans would burden the next generation with higher debts and force students to make choices based on cost rather than academic fit.

    The Price of University


    Plans to allow universities to charge unlimited tuition fees were today greeted
    with dismay from students and lecturers but welcomed by vice-chancellors at
    top-flight universities.  Fees of up to £6,000 a year would go directly to
    universities, but above that figure, they would pay a levy that would increase
    for each additional £1,000, restricting the extra income, under proposals set
    out by a review of higher education training.  Graduates would also repay their
    loans later and over a longer period.
    Lord Browne of Madingley proposed a new system unider which one graduate
    in five in lower-paid jobs would repay less than today, but higher-earning
    graduates would pay more.  His proposals, following a review of higher
    education finance lasting almost a year, will form the basis of a new system
    for funding universities from autumn 2012.  "Under these plans, universities
    can start to vary what they charge," he said, "but it will be up to students
    whether they choose the university.  The money will follow the student, who
    will follow the quality.  The student is no longer taken for granted, the student
    is in charge."
    Aaron Porter, president of the National Union of Students, said: "If adopted,
    Lord Browne's review would hand universities a blank cheque and force the
    next generation to pick up for the tab for devastating cuts to higher education. 
    The only thing students and they families would stand to gain from higher fees
    would be higher debts.  A market in course prices between universities would
    increasingly put pressure on students to make decisions based on cost rather
    than academic ability or ambition."
