The march saw approximately seven hundred students, lecturers and people of Aberystwyth marching from campus to the Old College, where we occupied the building to make our voices heard to the senior management.
We are committed to not disturbing lectures or the open day that is happening tomorrow, and look forward to the contributions from students and lecturers to the debate on education.
We want to remind senior management of the commitment they have to education and to us.
A full statement of our demands and reasons for occupation will follow tomorrow - right now it's nearing midnight and we've had a full day. We're settling down to do some work and watch films.
Come down and visit us, even if you just fancy a cup of coffee!
Watch this (free) space!
Da iawn pawb! My husband & I are Aber alumni, so we're really excited to see Aber students & staff getting involved in the protests. Keep up the good work!

Borth Solidarity! Maybe fight for the uni to put a coach on for March 26th!?
ReplyDeleteI believe Unison/Unite/PSC are cutting on coaches for free, and we have two hundred spaces on them. So we should be sorted! :D Keep an eye out, as it will start to be advertised shortly.
