Scots fee fallout triggers alarm

Article Abstract:

Students, lecturers and vice-chancellors are concerned about the potential financial consequences of the Scottish Parliament's planned abolition of undergraduate tuition fees. Fees of 46 million pounds sterling are required in 2001-02 to maintain existing standards in Scottish universities, says the Committee of Scottish Higher Education. Lecturers' union Natfhe supports the withdrawal of fees but is concerned that pay recommendations may be adversely affected. The National Union of Students will campaign for tuition fees to be abolished throughout the UK if they are withdrawn in Scotland.
