But last night city leader Cllr Warren Bradley condemned the cuts.
He said: “In the 21st century, there should be the opportunities for everybody to do what they want to do at higher and further education.

“More people in public life should take a step back and remember why the education system was set up. It enables people in the city to be educated and take up a useful role in society.”
The University of Liverpool proposals have already sparked protests by hundreds of students.
