the report suggests all Scots numbers take the next Scottish Government universities in extra Scottish students at the cost of their degree after, willing to thousands of pounds in fees to pay should consider can be, a think tank has proposed.The Fraser Allander Institute report suggested all Scots should pay after graduation in direction degree costs.
It called a major inquiry into the future of Scottish higher education.
But University said principals, which could delay the funding gap between Scotland and England plug moves.
Currently, the Scottish Government decides how many Scots can be enrolled students at universities and pays for the places.
According to the Strathclyde University-based Fraser of Allander Institute, universities may generate additional income by selling additional places.
For example, a legal department with sufficient staff and space in Lecture Theatre would take students of the 70 seats paid for by the Government to 80 students in 10 charges.
The report author, Prof Jim love, proposed private fees according to government fees, currently between 4000 ￡ and ￡ 16,000 per year.
Maintenance grantThe report argues that a likely influx of students from attract cosy houses with new maintenance for the living, students from less affluent families could be met.
Three of the four main political parties in Scotland have excluded charge Scottish students for their courses.
But there are fears, the Scottish universities behind could fall if English and Welsh universities charge up to 9,000 ￡ in annual tuition fees start next year.
Prof love said, there was a need for a "more clear contractual relationship" between Government and universities.
The report said: "Governments could restrict not only in a contract with universities to acquire numbers of places."
"Equally, of course, universities, as autonomous institutions, should able to decide whether they want to take student numbers and charges of Government offered."
"Removing control numbers and the clawback associated would enable, universities offer places to programs at home or EU students currently denied, provided they meet entry requirements."
It said this would "start to balance the relationship between Governments and universities, and opened the possibility of the universities develop another channel for income growth".
The report explores the question of the financing of universities from a tax-based contribution of graduates, income from depending on.
Prof love said: "with income thresholds before repayment begins, and graduates have typically higher career earnings than others, it is an inherent fairness."
"Crucial part of this revenue could be and should be distributed on means-tested maintenance grants for students from disadvantaged groups."
"Posts in the postgraduate employment and advance means-tested maintenance grants will also help participation and access support."
"Interesting ideas"Universities Scotland Director Alastair Sim said: "There are some interesting ideas in the Fraser Allander paper."
"But as four of the five main parties have now ruled out posts of all kinds of students and graduates, the focus now must on Scotland's politicians to the brand strengthening public finance find necessary, be keeping our Scottish universities competitive with those in England."
He added: "our main concern about a further review of the Scottish universities is, that it may not be allowed be to delay the urgent need to close the financing gap, which will begin between Scotland and England's universities from next year."
"Prevented that happening immediate action must be after the elections."
