is back in occupation! I am so happy. Students will not be cowed by repression. The campaign has grown and new people have taken over. As this is a new occupation with new occupiers who were not involved in the previous occupation the injunction does not apply to us. For anyone who would like to come down and join us as long as you were not in the previous occupation you are not breaking the injunction by coming in here. The demands --- - That David Eastwood and the University of Birmingham should publicly take back their position that fees should be increased and that bursaries should be cut. Instead, they should lobby the government for fees to be reduced, and bursaries to be increased. - That the University of Birmingham make a public statement against the privatisation of student loans and in defence of the public university. The Vice Chancellor should sign up to the Council in Defence of British Universities or the Campaign for the Public University. - That the University’s total income per student place from halls should be frozen next year, and that the cheapest fifth of halls should have their prices decreased. - That all staff working for the University of Birmingham- including those employed in house, by external contractors, and the Guild of Students- should be paid a living wage. - That the pay ratio between the lowest paid and the highest paid staff in the university should be reduced to 10:1. - That a body should be set up made up of elected students, academic staff, and support staff. This should have ultimate oversight over the restructuring of departments, the University’s investment decisions, and its lobbying positions. - That the University produces a publicly available Ethical Investment and Procurement Policy which is reported on annually with plenty of opportunity of engagement with staff, students and other key stakeholders. - That financial statements of the University’s academic departments, and non-academic services should be published so that they can be scrutinised and the University’s decisions be properly held to account by the community. - That the Nursing course faces no loss of investment and no redundancies.
