The RIA has launched its Advice Paper on the Sustainability of the Northern Ireland Higher Education Sector.

This paper considers the current position of the Northern Ireland higher education sector, and the emergence of a significant funding gap which will have major knock-on effects for the long-term sustainability of the Northern Ireland higher education system, and will also serve to undermine efforts to stimulate FDI in Northern Ireland through the lowering of the corporation tax rate.
