All eyes are on the Universities UK website where a dazzling new revelation is expected imminently.
The policy analysis page boasts: "Insights are written for anyone with prior knowledge of, or an interest in, higher education issues. They will be frequently updated and new articles added on a regular basis.
"Sorry, there are no insights for the year 2002."
Well, it is only May. The Diary is sure that UUK will come up with something soon.
