A few weeks ago I attended a #SaveUEL event & listened to concerns about staff redundancies at The University of London during the pandemic. I wrote to the university about their plans following the event.
I’m disappointed to learn @UEL_News is proceeding with plans.

The financial pressures being faced by universities is an expected side effect of the pandemic.
In July, EDM743 called on the Govt to provide essential support for institutions like these.
Institutions in this position have managed a financial plan to retain staff. So can UEL.

UEL students often obtain qualifications against the odds. Many are women, working class & from ethnic minority backgrounds.
The same background of many staff members being made redundant today without time to serve notice.
This doesn’t instil confidence in my constituents.

Our universities need to be protected from being eroded to the free market now more than ever.
I join calls on @UEL_News to change course.
I offer my hand to help review the decision with a view of reaching a solution that protects students & provides teaching cover.

In solidarity with students and staff, I will also be attending this @qm_ucu event tonight to amplify voices of those stuck on campuses, suffering delayed government support and have experienced devasting consequences to their mental health:

I am glad that since I’ve been in a Westminister Hall debate this afternoon, that some progress has been made to #SaveUEL. It is possible.
I will contact the Board of Governors to help further these calls.
