St Patrick's College, whose students received almost £100m in public-backed funding in 2013/14, has had its licence to recruit overseas students suspended by the Home Office. The college, which received more public funding than any other private college last year, is also being investigated by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Quality Assurance Agency.

In 2011/12 St Patrick's enrolled just 50 students and received £370,000 from the government through state-backed student loans. after the government rapidly increased the number of courses where students could access publicly-funded student loans and maintenance support.

The University and College Union (樱花动漫) said the government should have checked such rapid expansion at the time and that it . The union's complaints have been echoed by MPs who this week produced to heed explicit warnings from 樱花动漫 and others.

樱花动漫 general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'The government's decision to introduce checks and balances now is a bit of a shambles and looks like a case of trying to close the door long after the for-profit horse has bolted.

'St Patrick's is one of the institutions that grew very fast out of nowhere once the government allowed the college access to taxpayer-funded student loans. The government allowed private companies, that lack transparency and accountability, to profit from public subsidies without the most basic checks and this is the completely inevitable result.

'We warned ministers this would happen, but they chose not to listen because they did not want to accept that profit and education is a dangerous combination. Whoever forms the next government needs to take proper control of the for-profit shambles in the interests of the public and students.'

St Patrick's is the subject of today (Thursday).
