This is a replacement for the funding withdrawn from the government over the years. At least for the large, established universities and colleges.

Yup. It's part of the result of the austerity/spending cuts of the 90s. Around the same time the last of the cuts to non-market housing occurred.

I'd argue we should be funding our universities directly, rather than extracting cash from (mostly) developing countries. But I think that's separate from the housing conversation.
