We aren't going to share Kemi Badenoch's typically insulting comments about universities, but we will say this: Those that seek to devalue education understand its value - and its power - all too well. And they're terrified of it.

FWIW, we haven't received any support from Keir Starmer in our disputes since he became leader of the Labour party When we win game changing deals in further and higher education, it will be down to the determination of our members and the support of the movement

Our position is consistent and clear: -teaching this term should be online. -our sectors need emergency funding. -students who cannot, or do not want to return to campus, should be released from accommodation contracts. Public health is too important for more half measures!

Schools - online ✅ Colleges - online ✅ Universities - ❓❓❓ If Vice Chancellors want to show proper leadership they would email all their staff and students now and make it clear it is not safe to travel across the country for teaching. Not now. Not during the next 6 weeks.
