UK universities will be hampered in delivering economic growth if international student numbers are restricted by Suella Braverman, it has been warned, following her reappointment as home secretary.
Ms Braverman – who previously threatened to put limits on international student recruitment – was reinstated to the Home Office by Rishi Sunak, the new prime minister, just six days after she resigned from the role under the previous prime minister, Liz Truss, following a data breach.
“There was a loud sector-wide groan when she was reappointed as home secretary,” said Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute.
