The Conservatives and Labour have failed to address calls to tackle the flow of dark money into British universities.
More than 120 academics, politicians and campaigners signed an open letter in April urging the political parties to commit to legislation that forces universities to publish a register of large donations and research funding.
The letter came after openDemocracy revealed that hundreds of millions of pounds of anonymous donations have been poured into Russell Group universities since 2017 – much of it from wealthy foreign donors.
