Students have reacted with anger as it emerged their principal is being put up in a £1.7 million grace and favour townhouse as they struggle to find accommodation.
Edinburgh Live reported this week how a common room at the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls has had to be converted into makeshift digs with students sleeping in bunk beds.
Now it has emerged the uni is footing a £17,000 bill for the running costs of principal Peter Mathieson's house on plush Regent Terrace. Meanwhile students around the city are struggling to find accommodation due to a shortage in affordable private accommodation.
