Cant’t cut jobs without cutting services and undermining the university as it is understood. Without these protests, we are heading for a much smaller HE sector with many fewer young people able to have the opportunities many have come to take for granted. 10K jobs at risk is a crisis in any sector

Solidarity ✊
