Hello ladies, no ramblings today about my latest peice of work...as a student rep and a student body...the whole of the Metropolitan Uni are on the march today. London Metropolitan University- London's biggest university- in in the grips of a massive financial crisis.
The Board of Governors of London Metropolitan University are due to meet on Wednesday the 28th of January 2009 to discuss the future of the University. There will be a demonstration/lobby outside the building, beginning at 4pm, to demonstration the staff and students' anger at the current plans to axe hundreds of staff jobs. This is a demo. for all staff, students, and anyone who is affected by or concerned with the future of London's biggest university.
One of our main objectives is also to call for the resignation of the university's Vice Chancellor, Prof. Brian Roper. He is also the most highly-paid Vice Chancellor in the country, making £276k a year before bonuses
Over the past 2 years, the hours of very important tutors has nearly been halved and now there may be cuts of 2500 staff may be in jepardy.
This has a huge impact on us as students as within all these cuts we are losing valued teaching time, access to materials and extra time in the workshops(which is where most of the magic happens as you have seen).
I will keep you posted.....

Polemic Poppie!!
