Education should be free. As soon as the Government effectively turned University education into a paid for service, the right to complain and request compensation was inevitable.

This is, then, in fact the end of academic freedom and, eventually, universities as we've known them (and held in high esteem) for centuries, when law courts, government, and student buyers of status determine what's academic standard, rather than academics and scholars. Congrats

'Tens of thousands of students in England are studying for degrees at institutions that could soon be punished for low quality and poor value for money,' you pay for it, more power to you. Low quality is the biggest worry and been so for some time.

Bloody hell! This isn't helpful. We were doing our best in a very tricky situation.
