Students remain vocal
Lincoln students will continue their vocal opposition to user-pays in tertiary education, the University’s Student president, Mr Michael James, says. Replying to statements that students had engineered the withdrawal of banks from the loans scheme negotiations with the Government, Mr James said banks had withdrawn on purely commercial grounds. “The banks knew the risk and administration costs would be too high to shoulder themselves. The Government refused to share those costs. The banks thus had no alternative but to withdraw from negotiations. To say that students swayed the decisions of multi-million dollar international corporations is quite fanciful.”
