Aaand we’re out! 13 days of occupation brought to a great end. 30% rent reduction for all students in halls for sem 1, the biggest Uni rent strike victory in the UK ever. We really did ✨that✨

Morning from Occupied Sam Alex! After a pretty horrible day yesterday from 3hrs sleep bc of security the night before to dealing with sexist SU execs, we all had a much much better night last night and a sleepy start to today. Pls do come down and say hi! #occupycampus

[lucy 🇵🇸 @lumnic]

Today the occupation met with four members of our SU Exec team. In this meeting, the General Secretary repeatedly made personal attacks aimed at me - the only woman occupier involved - by calling me 'disrespectful' for responding to his questions.

Management are now trying to starve us out, stopping us getting to the microwave, kettle and fridge limiting the food we can eat

[StudentsB4ProfitMCR @studentsb4prof]

Demands 2.0

[StudentsB4ProfitMCR @studentsb4prof]

OCCUPATION ALERT:
At approximately 4:30pm on Thursday UoM students from SB4P, @MUCopsOffCampus @nancyoutuom @rentstrikeUoM and @SolidarityUoM began occupying Sam Alex building in protest of the University’s management. #occupycampus

[StudentsB4ProfitMCR @studentsb4prof]

Our demands are simple and justified, comprising demands from all of these campaigns as well as demands in solidarity with members of @UM_UCU

[Katie Donington @KatieDonington]

This has been the hardest news 2get after teaching thru COVID. Courses I designed & loved: Black British History, Slavery & Public History, Industry Empire & Society, London’s Global History - all gone. At a time when our majority ‘BAME’ university is engaging in ‘decolonisation’

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

UoM’s racism and the hostile environment they’ve enacted has made campus completely unsafe for students of colour.

Management’s actions in this instance and others are a disgrace to our university.

It is just kinda funny how publicly unis will insist everything will be back to normal in September while privately UoM is piloting an online attendance system for 2021/2022. It’s ALMOST LIKE they’re planning to do what they did this year and sell first years f2f to get their ££

Legends 👏 only! 👏 Solidarity with LSE students! Education for the masses not just for the ruling classes

[UMUCU @UM_UCU]

Staff survey results:

Comparing equivalent questions from previous years. Staff agreeing the SLT manage and lead the university well
2017 = 81%
2019 = 72%
2021 = 44%

And they claim the "results for leadership are positive overall"

Don't believe their spin!

Statement from various UoM campaigns on GMP’s actions on Saturday. We are in full solidarity with our comrades in other campaigns at UoM, including the brave protestors who were arrested for sitting peacefully on Saturday.

“The students united will never be defeated”

✊🚩

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

The moment 60+ police officers violently began arresting peaceful protestors, never seen this much force and this many officers used against no more than 2 dozen teenagers. @GMPolice clearly had nothing better going on...
