SU publicly supports striking staff and UCU

Submitted 1 month ago by Anna Fisher

The SU has yet to make any real commitment regarding support of UCU and striking staff, despite acknowledging via email to all students on 30/10/25 that "students have strong feelings on the strategic review and believe that the University should look at alternative solutions to address the challenges. They have asked that the SU opposes the review, course closures and staff redundancies and supports the strike action taken by UCU."

Many students remain poorly informed about the reasons for the strikes and impact of the Strategic Review upon staff and students. Information is repeatedly presented in a way that is not relevant to young people or transparent.

There has yet to be a student Referendum and one does not appear to be planned.

Information supplied by the SU regarding the students' ability to demonstrate support for the strikes was considered misleading by many students.

Students motion that the SU informs all students accurately regarding the reasons for strike action and impacts of the Strategic Review on staff and students. Students motion that the SU then conducts a Referendum on the subject. Pending the outcome of the Referendum, students motion that the SU publicly support striking staff and UCU. Should the Referendum confirm a majority vote that students support striking staff and UCU, the SU must publicly and unreservedly support striking staff and UCU.
