E59: Exposing the dark money at the heart of UK universities
Manage episode 379540055 series 3414896
The University of Oxford is currently *the* top higher learning institution in the world and two more British universities also make it into the top 10, according to World University Rankings.
But new research has exposed how these prestigious places of learning, and many more across the UK, are under threat from money linked to global terrorism and crime!
From student becoming money mules, to a ‘no-questions-asked’ approach to cash payments on tuition fees and accommodation – students and universities are vulnerable to financial crime.
In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Nicholas Ryder, Professor of Law at Cardiff University.
They discuss the vulnerabilities exposed by this research, the impact on students and universities, and what needs to happen next.
Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles
Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Paul Allen, Nicholas Thon
