hmm, given this government's record, the talk of 'giving students their money back' to ease the pain of COVID19 will mean a lot of pain for universities #Marr
we could have instead @AndrewMarr9 discussing the abolition of tuition fees and a return to less commodified higher education, but I guess not.
how you get COVID19 perfect storm for universities:
1. government refuses emergency funding
2. business model reliant on accommodation/catering & foreign students
3. poor track and trace system
4. overpaid VCs forcing staff to do face to face, often without mandatory masks

rhetoric of paying consumer will see attitudes harden, so it will be more difficult for us academic staff to negotiate Corona rules with students when Senior Management prioritises face to face.
