Covid‐19 and UK Universities	2020-07-11		.txt	text/plain	3103	172	55	UUK further estimates that it will lose £790 million in revenues in 2019-20 and potentially £6.9 billion in 2020-21 if foreign students, who are critical to the financial health of the sector, fail to enrol. Without help from the government 'access to higher education would be decreased, disadvantaged students would be worse off and less able to select a university that best suits their learning needs'. To do so, universities would enrol students who would have gone to a lower ranked institution in the absence of Covid-19. Such 'poaching' reduces the financial impact on more highly ranked universities, but it increases the losses of lower ranked institutions unless total enrolment increases. Given that lifetime earnings are positively related to the quality of university attended, capping enrolment by institution provides support to lower ranked institutions at the expense more highly ranked institutions and students.	./cache/cord-256972-u0gh7ov2.txt	./txt/cord-256972-u0gh7ov2.txt
