Thus opines one Julia Goodfellow EU bumlicker frst class
"Brexit" would harm international academic collaboration, Julia Goodfellow, president-elect of Universities UK, is due to say later today at the launch of a university-led campaign attended by pro-EU lawmakers.
"The case for staying in Europe is about ensuring the future prosperity of the UK," she will say.
"It's about maximising the chances of new discoveries that enhance the society in which we live, it's about the UK's standing in the world, it's about British jobs and it's about opportunities for British people now and in the future."
As a former University lecturer I can say with authority this is total bollocks.
Our EU membership is about providing and financing EU students at the best British Universities denying places to our own children and supporting EU students with money we will never get back.
Ah say the Europhiles but our students can go and study at EU institutions. True indeed except with two caveats. They will have to pay for themselves and attend lectures in Portugese, Serbo Croat or whatever.
All EU students learn English from an early age and all major text books are written in English translations. Our home based students would have to master many languages to compete.
All ready Oxford is taking more and more mid Europeans and less and less Geordies. We are the EU's biggest suckers.
Our universities love the EU as they dole out (return) huge amounts of cash as 'research' grants to greedy academics but all such grants are conditional on multi country projects so you need partners in at least 3 other EU countries to get the money. Nice one by the EU bribing us with our own money and providing a nice subsidy to EU airlines.
Another one on the list of the great and the good UK institutions in the EU's pocket
PS
J Good fellow got a pay rise of 19% last year taking her salary as VC Kent to £265000 pa more than call me Dave. No wonde she supports the status quo!
Douglas Carswell has writen the very good answer to Goodfellow I reproduce below. Note she is financed by a organisation that has grown fat on EU money
