To be fair, Uni South Wales (Formerly Uni Glam) was forced to do so by the regulator for many reasons currently being investigated, and not because it has been 'hit hard' (It also lied about having to cut and close jobs at Caerleon campus when it took over Uni Newport despite reservations from students & staff, along with various other cuts it initially said it wouldn't do - all to fund clapped-out Trefforest Polytech) - Micky Mouse degrees for alot of money and taking advantage of international students is all I will say on that one.
As for Aberystwyth and the rest, yes they are having a horrible time of it and they don't deserve to be cut down - tories pillaging the education system and then destroying it utterly is no way to provide for a country which sorely needs many skillsets and potential enterprises to be incubated and nurtured
