A huge turnout in Nottingham today, around 300 staff and students standing together against cuts.
Powerful speeches, real solidarity, and a clear message: we won’t let our universities be dismantled.
We are the university. ✊if you’ve not voted there is still time! Get it in!

So depressing to be signing another petition to save Modern Languages, this time at Leicester. Linguistic & intercultural understanding are vital to everyone in today's world.

Wow... Chinese influence on British universities has gone too far! 👎👎
I hope it is now obvious why pillars of democracy like universities, the law, public broadcasting should be funded so that they are beyond the reach of financial coercion by hostile agents.
