	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| higher news \| Scottish universities target 'fees refugees'
		Scottish universities, faced with a falling population at home, are to target students in England in the hope of picking up "fees refugees" when top-up fees are introduced south of the border next year.
		And although politicians in the Scottish Parliament have been quick to raise the spectre of universities being swamped by English students seeking to avoid top-up fees of up to £3,000 a year, some universities are seeing this as good way to preserve numbers and standards.
		Aberdeen University faces a particular problem because the population of the city, where it has always recruited strongly, is predicted to fall by 7.6% by 2008 and 22.6% by 2018.

	Education \| Scottish universities get funding boost
		Scottish universities will receive £843m for teaching and research in the coming year and a further £28m to improve teaching facilities, the funding council announced today.
		Despite Scotland's falling population, the number of student places is being maintained as universities brace themselves for a rush of applicants from England - a 17% increase for 2005 - and the enlarged European Union.
		In total Scottish universities are to receive £148m for teaching and learning facilities over the next three years.

	Scottish universities claim top marks in international league - [Sunday Herald] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		University chiefs are seeking to persuade the Scottish Executive that the sector needs £102 million in extra funds to meet ministers’ priorities for research and economic development and to help it compete with universities in England and Wales after the advent of top-up fees there.
		Scottish universities have been keen to demonstrate that they have been improving their performance, but have argued that progress can’t be maintained unless more resources are made available.
		Scottish universities produce almost nine academic papers per 1000 of the population, compared with 5.8 in England, 4.4 in the US and 2.7 in Japan.

	Public Finance Magazine - News - News analysis –Scottish universities fear funding shortfall
		University funding is a devolved function and the first Labour/Liberal Democrat coalition Scottish Executive wasted little time in deciding to abolish up-front tuition fees.
		But Scottish universities argue that they face being seriously disadvantaged if English universities are able to attract the best academic talent and be better equipped for research as a result of increased income from top-up fees.
		Universities Scotland, the umbrella organisation representing university principals and vice-chancellors, has calculated that if Scottish universities were able to charge the equivalent of what will be raised in England in 2006/07, this would generate income of between £140m and £160m.

		Last night, university representatives and student groups said the increase was not as large as expected, but warned that future rises would have to be monitored closely to ensure Scottish students were not squeezed out.
		There are no plans to expand the number of places at Scottish universities, so any influx of applications from England would lead to greater competition for places and the possibility that Scots would be passed over.
		A spokesman for Universities Scotland, which represents university principals, said future rises in English students of the same magnitude would inevitably mean changes to higher education.
