In HEPI’s final blog before the Easter break, HEPI Director Nick Hillman returns to the thorny issue of student number caps, arguing they’re for the many not the few when – in this instance – it’s the few that matter more.

For a long time after the reintroduction of free higher education in Scotland, many people found the lack of open debate about other funding models stifling.
