The range of institutions called universities in the UK is large and I think you are conflating properties of one end of the range with properties of the other.

- physarum_salad 1y agoI disagree. Oxbridge, LSE, Edinburgh, etc appear equally as susceptible. In fact in top London universities it seems to be worse - prestige attracts more international students. I also agree in the sense that there are less prestigious universities that appear to operate as if they are almost Chinese/in China. Both are major concerns I would have thought.

- dan-robertson 1y agoIs this statement based on your recent undergraduate experience or on something else?
- physarum_salad 1y agoI don't need to divulge personal information to make a point. See comment below. I think it is pretty apparent to anyone with any interactions with universities in the U.K. and in other countries. The fact that it is now a geopolitical tool for China is pretty concerning.
