Universities UK, Universities UK submission to the 2015 Comprehensive Spending Review
UUK’s Comprehensive Spending Review outlines recommendations and proposals supported by relevant research and studies, and clearly reports that the UK cannot economically grow, support innovation, or be a strong competitor in the global knowledge economy through the heavy cuts to the public sector seen by the Chancellor’s summer Budget. The review highlights the importance of HE in boosting the economy and tackling skills shortages, and calls for government investment in human capital, infrastructure and research for clear national benefits.
