There is still hope that public universities can get out of the financial hole despite the challenges in student funding.
The Universities Fund (UF) and the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) have proposed a raft of measures that they project if adopted, can stabilise universities and get them out of the financial pit.
The two agencies, in their report to the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms, argue that the proposed reforms through the merger of the funding bodies are huge steps towards the right direction and urge the full realisation of the planned changes.
