Taxpayer funding for English universities is slated to drop to a mere 15 percent, the lowest it's been in 100 years, Graeme Paton with the The Telegraph reports.
To make up for the lost public funding, students will see a major tuition hike.
Starting in September, British universities will be allowed to charge students up to £9000 per year, or around $11,489.
The tuition hike was approved by Parliament in December 2010.
The drop in government funding is just the latest step that critics say is slowly transforming a public university system into a private one.
