Shat on by Tories, Shovelled up by Labour
The AUT action short of a strike continues. Exams start in eight days and we still don’t know if some or all are going to be cancelled. If they do go ahead, they may be missing questions by lecturers who are on strike even though we have told the university we do not want to sit partial exams. Revision is difficult to say the least.
The unions have taken us hostage and the university seems happy to regard our education as collateral damage. They acknowledge that exams may have to be delayed but they refuse to make that decision, reserving the right to let us know 24 hours before they are due in spite of repeated demands to give us more notice.
This is even worse for the part-time students who are taking time off work to sit exams that may not happen.
