Yes in 2025 it nonsense to say only 10 or 20k joiners are allowed. Cause there is no space or lecturers. Online is unlimited scale.

The problem is that these universities can't even manage basic payroll. My girlfriend who was a lecturer is owed 1.5 million coz she wasn't paid. She has zero chance of ever collecting this money because the universities are insolvent. Right most uon poor students can't manage the cafeteria food so they go hungry or spend a lot of time on scavenging for food
