The UK's University business model is now pretty stark.... fees from non-UK students, and drawing down reserves (and income from investments) are the only two things left to cross-subsidise the rest of universities' activities (research & the teaching UK students, both of which are 'loss-making').
This model cannot go on forever - international students are in a post-Brexit deciine reserves are by their character, limited!
The crisis in higher education is going to get deeper!

Competition in Cambrian seas helped cause an explosion in diversity.Brooke Borel (Nautilus)
"The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way."
