There are early signs that the LibCONS are softening us up for all student loans to be repaid irrespective of salary levels. Imagine what difference that will make to already low archaeological wage levels....
Kevin, that is one of my great fears, only those who can repay student loans will be eligible for them, the disenfranchisement of the working class from higher education is something we have to fight against.
