BREAKING Florence Gaza student encampment have just won huge victory
University is to issue statement condemning genocide, and commission to be set up to evaluate current agreements with complicit institutions - pension funds, research agreements, arms firms - everything.

Stay on the streets. Keep up the protests. Kick out the Tories on 4th July - and then keep on kicking, against austerity, privatisation, racism and war. The struggle will continue.

Have you booked your place at this years 35th Hazards Conference? 30th Aug-1st Sept at Keele University. Are you a health and safety rep then this conference is for you. eventbrite.co.uk/e/hazards-conf… #Haz2024

The Conference of Colleges is meeting in 10 minutes.

At the same time, Oxford students have blockaded the street with their bodies to protest the arrest of peaceful student demonstrators who staged a sit-in at a university administrative building.

This is surreal

We condemn Oxford vice chancellor Irene Tracey in the strongest possible terms for bringing in police to violently arrest her own students, engaged in peaceful protest against genocide.

Universities UK must make clear to university leaders that this repression is unacceptable.
