It seems both Nick Clegg and David Willetts are surprised and disappointed that universities are thinking about charging the full £9000 they are allowed to charge students for an education under the Coalition's reforms.
Duh! You cut off university funding, and allow them to make it up by charging fees and then you're surprised they do that?!
Willetts's comments are bizarre - these universities may get caught out? Well duh! Of course they might, you're making it a marketplace! Then they'll change when they realise, instead of being told what to do by government...
Nick Clegg's comments though take the biscuit - it's not up to the universities what fees they set?! I thought that was the entire point of the reform? Seems like a very confused man these days Nick Clegg...
