Leading article: Care needed
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.British universities are becoming increasingly dependent on overseas students who pay high fees of £8,000 a year and more, and expect a degree of tender loving care as a result.
British universities are becoming increasingly dependent on overseas students who pay high fees of £8,000 a year and more, and expect a degree of tender loving care as a result. The problem is, as the article on page 6 shows, they often feel they don't get it. Some universities have put the money and effort into looking after visitors from overseas, but not all. If higher education institutions want to continue attracting the lucrative trade from abroad, they need to take a lesson out of Nottingham University's book. It has a team of international student support officers, and has just appointed an officer to look after Chinese students.
