Thinktank advocates ‘national’ and ‘local’ university divide

'indistinguishable in what they offer' - well, that's because they are 'universities'. You can recognize the regional and local contribution of universities without restricting them with labels.

So everyone will become an international university because that's where the money is. Seems like a way of returning to polytechnic, FE and Teacher Training colleges to me. Just need to decide whether that is a good thing or not.... but most will decide not, no surprise there

Another one to save in the "not going to happen" directory. At least nowadays less paper will be wasted since the report will often be read in electronic form.
