I work for a university and there is no surprise. This has been building for a while.

The issue, not just for universities but the UK as a whole, is that foreign students subsidise UK research. When the government funds research projects it only funds 80% of the cost of the project (Look at UKRI funding terms). Higher foreign student fees are 3-4x UK nationals fees.

From another perspective we're essentially selling off our intellectual property to non-nationals which really puts a dampener on our future competitiveness.

If the government is unwilling to pony up the cash to cover research, whilst actively discourage foreign students, then the quality and quantity of research is going to fall off a cliff.

Not at all. This article is 17 years old and planes have only gotten more efficient whilst the same old cruise ships continue to so the seas.
