The Scottish Funding Council's proposed cut is linked to its assumption that architecture is not a studio-based subject and therefore cheaper to teach. However architecture education does require a significant level of studio work including technical support, space and materials as endorsed by the new QAA benchmark statement for architecture. Meanwhile HEFCE have announced cuts for 2011 and we worry that the Scottish consultation could lead the way for further cuts for England and Wales. 26 Feb
