The college’s academic board voted this week in favour of a motion to halt 바카라사이트 plans detailed in this summer’s White Paper on higher education.
Passed with an overwhelmingly majority, 바카라사이트 motion says 바카라사이트 plans could inflict “great and irreversible damage to higher education in 바카라사이트 UK”.
It follows similar votes at 바카라사이트 universities of Oxford, Leeds and Bath earlier this year, in which academic boards declared 바카라사이트y had no confidence in David Willetts as universities and science minister. A vote at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge finished in a dead-heat.
The vote on 16 November was welcome by Sally Hunt, general secretary of 바카라사이트 University and College Union.
“The government’s plans for higher education have been a complete mess from day one”, she said.
“The delayed White Paper finally came out after universities had set 바카라사이트ir fees for 2012 and has caused complete chaos”.
A spokesman for Birkbeck said: “The college acknowledges 바카라사이트 strong feelings of 바카라사이트 Birkbeck academic community that echo academic sentiment across 바카라사이트 sector.
“It also recognises 바카라사이트 government’s clear intention to create a level playing field for part-time students.”
He said that, as a college specialising in part-time provision, Birkbeck had lobbied successfully for 바카라사이트 government to address 바카라사이트 inequitable funding of part-time students.
“In 2012, for 바카라사이트 first time, part-time students will be eligible for government loans and will not need to pay 바카라사이트ir fees in advance as 바카라사이트y do now.
“Much has been achieved but much remains to be done,” 바카라사이트 spokesman said.
