@surreysll students and PGRs turned out in solidarity for the meeting this morning in which all staff were informed of the 'proposals' regarding the future of the department.
The future of SLL should not include further redundancies which will not only continue to impact our lecturers, supervisors and tutors, but also the education available within the school. Join us tomorrow morning to show the university we stand in solidarity and #SupportOurSurrey

“What we���re seeing isn’t some slow, careful rebalancing of the system… it’s just another messy, confused decline of something Britain was genuinely once good at, which contributed billions to the economy while projecting soft power abroad.”

The evidence suggests that in addition to spending recklessly, the Executive Board have also borrowed recklessly to the point where the 'deficit' appears to have been planned rather than arising from circumstances outside of anyone’s control. [5/7]
Further to our previous reports of several multi-million-pound projects, including the purchase of the AQA Building, and the Surrey Future Fellows scheme, we now know that further finance metrics place the University of Surrey well outside of the sector average. [2/7]
