After a brief resumé of the background to the growth of the university system in the sixties and seventies , ‐ the period of the Robbins report and its implementation ‐ the paper discusses in some detail the financial changes that have occurred over the period 1979–1986. This period covers the removal of overseas student subsidies, the massive cuts exercise of 1981, and the reallocation exercise of 1986. The methods of approach used by the UGC to the 1981 and 1986 allocations are compared and contrasted, whilst the paper concludes with some thoughts on the possible long term consequences of the approach that is now being adopted for grant allocations .
