.@DrJoGrady said: “many students are paying rent for accommodation they’re essentially locked out of” as a result of the latest lockdown, and she urged the government to “intervene with emergency funding. This cannot continue. Students must be reimbursed,”

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

A few weeks ago we had 18 unis launching rent strikes.
We’ve now more than DOUBLED,
in January there will be over 45 universities across the country on rentstrike.

This is the biggest student uprising in a generation & marketised universities simply aren’t ready for it.

[RENT STRIKE NOW 🏘 @rentstrikenow]

💥 MORE THAN 45 UNIVERSITIES (and counting!) WILL BE RENT STRIKING THIS JANUARY 💥

This is the biggest national student rent strike in history! If you are a student at any of these unis please get involved! ✊

[Larissa @Larissa_Ken]

the repeated failure to adequately address universities is a stain on this Government’s dreadful handling of this pandemic

and students will remember

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

The next rent instalment for @OfficialUoM accommodation is on 21st January but this should be cancelled IMMEDIATELY.

[Ben McGowan @BenMcGowan_]

The University of Manchester (@officialuom) is threatening students on rent strike with extortionate fines and refusing to meet with students to discuss their concerns.
So students have just taken control of the university’s Owens Park Tower & begun an occupation ✊💥

[UCU @ucu]

UCU general secretary @DrJoGrady said: “Until there is an effective UK-wide test, trace and isolate programme, all in-person teaching at universities and colleges must be moved online wherever possible for the duration of lockdown."

[Sheffield Students Stand Up @SheffStandUp]

We’ve created a petition to gather a list of signatures to show support for our campaign!

Support for wellbeing
End tuition fees
Regular access to testing
No redundancies

[UCU @ucu]

‘Very shortly’ isn’t good enough!

UCU warned that without a functioning ‘track, trace, & isolate’, outbreaks would happen. We asked the government to stop a mass return to campus in Aug/Sept - they didn’t.

Plans should already exist for an Xmas return- it was predicted by SAGE.

[UCU @ucu]

We are horrified!

Manchester Uni have erected fences around halls of residence. Students are ‘now only able to leave through a single exit guarded by security, as part of measures aimed at controlling the spread of coronavirus during the new lockdown’

[UCUHallam @UCUHallam]

We have all been deeply saddened by the news that we lost a colleague who passed away after contracting Covid19.

Our heartfelt condolences go to their family, friends and workmates.

Please look after each other. Keep your distance, cover your face and stay safe. #noF2F

[UCU @ucu]

The government argues colleges and universities must continue in-person actives during lockdown so that learning isn't disrupted. But learning is disrupted when the mode of delivery constantly changes due to staff and students yo-yoing in and out of self isolation.
