VCs should make a co-ordinated and purposeful response to the privatisation of university funding, according to a letter in the Guardian signed by over 90 academics, including Guy Standing of Bath.
In August 2012, the UK Border Agency revoked the licence of London Metropolitan University to recruit and teach international students. The withdrawal of the University’s ‘Highly Trusted Status’ means that some 2700 students face the prospect of deportation if suitable alternatives cannot be found. UCU is opposing this and you can support the action by signing this petition.
