LONDON Metropolitan University will begin paying back the �36.5m it falsely claimed for thousands of non-existent students, it emerged this week.
The university's vice chancellor, Professor Malcolm Gillies, who took up the role earlier this year, said it would begin repayments of �10 million a year in September.
Governors were forced to resign and two senior staff members still face investigation for their role in the scandal in which the university claimed �36.5m for students who had not passed their end-of-year appraisals.
The troubled university has already made 150 members of staff redundant.
