Thanks for getting all this together - very useful.
This [expansion of non-UK students from 8% to 15%] [...]s the main reason that UK universities survived the expansion of the 1980s and 1990s.
It was a very helpful factor but I don't think it's the main reason. The teacher:student ratio has shrunk dramatically over that time too, and my hunch is that this is the main factor - especially if you combine it with the shifts towards the US system of graduate teaching assistants.
