In an official survey studied and revealed by the BBC yesterday, it has been concluded that most English and Welsh universities want to increase the amount of money paid for tuition fees by UK Students from £3,500 to at least £5,000.According to the BBC News Website, some of the vice-chancellors of some of the top universities in the UK would like to see tuition fees rise for the sake of their universities.
These vice-chancellors believe that rising tuition fees up to £5,000 and in some cases, depending on the academic course, £7,000, would help universities a lot in times of economic crisis.
The BBC reported: "The BBC survey, gathering the views of 53 universities vice-chancellors, showed a wide range of expectations of the scale of any increase - from £4,000 to £20,000 per year."
This is without a doubt a way for the cheesy, greeny, give-more-money-vice-chancellors of all those 53 universities to make more money.

How dare they say that universities need more money because they are going through difficult times? When specially now that there is an economic crisis, more and more both youngsters and mature would-be-university-students are desperately applying to university courses.
If there is anyone who needs money to go to university, those are the students who are dedicating their time and who are already in debt and who will have to pay a deep debt of up to £25,000 by the time their higher education is over. Those people are the UK students.
Those vice-chancellors do not need more money, and in fact, they do not deserve more money, because all they want to do with that money is invest it on unnecessary things.
Such is the case of one of London's biggest universities; London Metropolitan University; where the chancellor lied when it came to reporting to the government how many students the university had and now the university has to pay back a fine of more than £15 million.
I am a journalism student at London Met, and I - like many other students - can assure many people that just by looking at the quality of some of the equipment and the buildings that belong London Met, I can say that most of that money must have ended up in the wrong pockets.

If not, then why doesn’t London Met’s chancellor want to explain the government what he’s done with the money? And what does London Met’s chancellor want to do now to ‘solve the problem?’ He wants to get rid of almost 40% of the university’s lecturers.
For the sake of those students who are the future of this nation, and who will end up in debt for shaping their own future at university, and for doing something that benefits the future of the UK, let us please not allow these greeny vice-chancellors benefit from us, the students, and get our money because they simply want and can.
