8th October 2007




The Facebook group - students against the funding cuts.




The petition to the Prime Minister on the Downing Street site.


I would urge everyone who can to sign the petition on the Downing Street site, so that we can let the government know that we are serious about our opposition to the funding cuts. These cuts will not have the effect that John Denham said they would; they will have the effect of cutting the universities provision of courses within lifelong learning and widening participation most drastically, leaving these sectors to be a second rate part of the system. The fact that the money may go to school leavers to enable their participation in HE is not sufficient compensation for the loss of the money.


These changes are explained by Fat Man on a keyboard. Have a look at his blog as well. He tells it like it is.


Until we meet again and the case is solved.
