This week, Catherine's fascinated by a funding crisis that looks set to hit almost half of UK universities. What's causing it? And what might the solution be?

Joining her in her quest for answers are comedian Pierre Novellie and The Herald's education writer, James McEnaney. In the Sidebar, Lorna Rose Treen takes a break from her Edinburgh show to give us her thoughts as she heads off for her first term at uni.

Written by Catherine Bohart, with Madeleine Brettingham, Sarah Campbell and Ellen Robertson.
