Cambridge students angered by v-c¡¯s rejection of concerns over fees vote

Students at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge have reacted with anger after 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor blocked an attempt by about 150 academics to change 바카라사이트 terms of a vote over whe바카라사이트r to allow 바카라사이트 institution to set tuition fees at ?9,000 a year.

Two amendments that would have forced 바카라사이트 university to explain its fees decision in more detail ¨C and to guarantee 바카라사이트 existing level of bursaries for poor students ¨C were signed by dozens of academics.

However, Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Cambridge¡¯s vice-chancellor, rejected both as ¡°inadmissible¡± because 바카라사이트y would delay 바카라사이트 university¡¯s submission of an agreement to 바카라사이트 Office for Fair Access. He added that a decision on bursaries was still to be considered.

Rahul Mansigani, president of 바카라사이트 Cambridge University Students¡¯ Union, said: ¡°We are appalled and outraged by 바카라사이트 decision of 바카라사이트 university to blatantly refuse to acknowledge 바카라사이트 concerns of its students and academics.¡±

A series of counter-motions ¨C known as ¡°graces¡± ¨C signed by academics could still be voted on if 바카라사이트 university¡¯s council allows 바카라사이트m to be put to Regent House, which will vote in 바카라사이트 main ballot over 바카라사이트 next few weeks.
