flag Cambridge leaders discuss Reform UK’s potential education policies amid concerns over funding and free speech.

flag University of Cambridge leaders, including Vice-Chancellor Deborah Prentice, have held informal talks with Reform UK figures amid concerns over potential policy changes if the party gains power. flag Prentice warned of a possible "Trump-style" overhaul targeting universities seen as promoting "woke" ideology, citing Reform’s manifesto pledges to cut funding for institutions undermining free speech, reduce international student benefits, shorten degree lengths, and dismantle the Office for Students. flag While Cambridge stated its outreach is routine and non-partisan, the university is assessing implications through internal sessions. flag Reform UK, currently leading polls, has not named an education spokesperson but has signaled a hardline stance on higher education, echoing U.S. political pressures on academia.
