In January, we learned that the government would not pursue a Higher Education Bill this year. This was a vindication and a victory for students, academics, and staff who have spent the last two years campaigning against the government’s destructive plans for universitie…s.
But while some of the proposals will have been dropped with the HE Bill, others, it has been noted, “can still be achieved without primary legislation.”
Without the clear chance to oppose government proposals in a Bill, what are the next steps for those who seek to challenge the privatisation, marketisation, and overall impoverishment of higher education?
