No more fees in Scotland: how relaxing

The minority SNP administration is set to scrap the fees paid by Scottish students (in Scotland) with the support of the LibDems (who were party to the introduction of fees).

It will be interesting to see what the consequences of this might be for funding Scottish institutions. It is perhaps slightly surprising that Universities Scotland is “entirely relaxed” about the situation – you would think that there might be just a little hint of anxiety there.

See Guardian and BBC for (slightly divergent) details.
