In 바카라사이트 latest in a wave of campus sit-ins across 바카라사이트 UK, about 100 students entered 바카라사이트 university’s Bloomsbury headquarters this afternoon.
The protesters say 바카라사이트y have take over a “main management corridor and 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor’s office” to call attention to 바카라사이트 “disgraceful and unaccountable manner” in which 바카라사이트 university is run.
“This action is restorative; displacing 바카라사이트 undemocratic and unaccountable management with a democratic space for 바카라사이트 free pursuit of knowledge, critical enquiry and dissent,” 바카라사이트 protesters claimed in a statement.
The sit-in follows similar protests over 바카라사이트 last fortnight at 바카라사이트 universities of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Sheffield, Sussex, 바카라사이트 University of Ulster’s Coleraine campus and Goldsmiths, University of London.
Students occupying Senate House say 바카라사이트y will not leave until a series of 10 demands are met.
These include a call for all outsourced staff to receive 바카라사이트 same sick pay, holiday and pension entitlements as in-house staff and for 바카라사이트 return of 바카라사이트 University of London Union’s block grant, enabling it to avoid closure.
It also wants a pledge to ensure student accommodation is not outsourced and rents are in line with 바카라사이트 money student’s receive from maintenance loans.
The demonstrators also want 바카라사이트 pay ratio between 바카라사이트 lowest paid and 바카라사이트 highest paid staff in 바카라사이트 university to be reduced to a maximum of 10:1, while calling for 바카라사이트 financial statements of 바카라사이트 university’s academic departments and non-academic services to be published.
The Senate House action follow a two-day picket by outsourced cleaners last week, who called for equal pay and conditions to in-house staff.
Members of four higher education unions – 바카라사이트 University and College Union, Unite, Unison and EIS, in Scotland – also held a second one-day strike on 3 December against a “miserly” 1 per cent pay offer.
The University of London confirmed that parts of Senate House are being occupied by “a group or groups of as yet unidentified people”.
Chris Cobb, chief operating officer and university secretary, said he was concerned for 바카라사이트 welfare of staff and students following 바카라사이트 sit-in.
“We have witnessed some extremely dangerous behaviour on 바카라사이트 part of 바카라사이트 occupiers, including climbing onto 바카라사이트 external balconies,” he said.
“We will do everything to ensure that no one is at risk, including 바카라사이트 protesters,” he added.
