Your University is At Risk

Tuition fees are higher than ever, but where are they going?

Over 150 academic jobs - the jobs of the people who teach you and do the research that makes your university reputable - are under threat at Leicester in this latest 'strategic review' alone. The decisions of the current executive have led to a drop of over 100 places in the latest world university rankings.

And this is not just happening at Leicester (click for link)

Across the UK, executive pay in universities is booming. There are more and more executive managers hired every year, people who never see a student or do any research. Is it a surprise that UK universities slide further and further down the international league tables every year?

At every turn, short-term profit, marketing gimmicks, and vanity projects are prioritised over the long-term student experience and research excellence.

Is this what you want to be paying for? We don't think it is.

Help us fight back - and keep our universities great.
