Yes. They made themselves irrelevant when they allowed the merge with
the polys.


I don't think "they" were responsible. It was a government decision.


This devalued the average standing of a UK university to that lowest
common denominator.


I regularly see job adverts now where they aren't just asking for a
uni degree, they're asking for a degree from a redbrick. If you went
to Fulchester or Scumbag College, that doesn't count.
