Martin argued that the current system of charging foreign students differently according to their nationality is “indefensible.” Charging EU students full international student rates would create “a windfall for universities.” Outside the EU, universities would also have access to “a broader talent pool” and all nationalities would be treated equally. “The current visa policy under which the worst German student gets automatic access while things are difficult if not impossible for the brilliant Indian scholar, is morally flawed,” he wrote. He criticized university vice chancellors supporting the anti-Brexit campaign as “part of the European elite that cannot see beyond the continent’s borders.”
