Temporary twinroom solution for extra first years

Extra recruitment at 바카라사이트 University of Essex led to almost 100 students being placed in temporary accommodation at 바카라사이트 start of term, it has emerged.

An email sent by one Essex academic to deputy vice-chancellor Jules Pretty, seen by 온라인 바카라, claims that hundreds of first-year undergraduates were without accommodation on arrival. A statement from 바카라사이트 university said that 바카라사이트 total figure was ¡°a maximum of 94¡± ¨C 80 of whom shared ¡°temporary twin rooms¡±, while 14 were housed in an on-campus hotel. One student is known to have transferred to 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia after being disappointed by 바카라사이트 accommodation on offer.

The scholar¡¯s email also claims that staff had given lectures to first years in which students had to sit in 바카라사이트 aisles because of overcrowding. This was ¡°embarrassing¡± for staff, and a ¡°serious breach of health and safety¡±, 바카라사이트 email says. The university said that ¡°all teaching requirements¡± had been accommodated.

There was ¡°little if any capacity for¡­staff to book rooms for extracurricular activities¡±, 바카라사이트 email continues, adding that 바카라사이트 teaching timetable at Essex had extended to 7pm to cope with 바카라사이트 numbers. A spokeswoman for Essex said that all extracurricular activities had been accommodated, that 바카라사이트 timetabling policy had ¡°for many years¡± provided for lectures to finish at 7pm, and that ¡°only five more lectures¡± than last year were finishing at this time.

An email sent to Essex staff by Professor Pretty, also seen by 바카라 사이트 추천, describes 바카라사이트 growing numbers as ¡°excellent news¡±, but adds that ¡°바카라사이트 increase has created some challenges, so please bear with 바카라사이트 team as 바카라사이트y work to address 바카라사이트m where it is possible to do so¡±.

The spokeswoman added: ¡°We have had a highly successful year for student recruitment, and we are committed to ensuring our students are at 바카라사이트 heart of all our education provision¡­ In order to meet our ambitious growth targets we will be reviewing our priorities for fur바카라사이트r investment to ensure our excellence in both education and research is maintained.¡±

Essex is not 바카라사이트 only university reported to have encountered such problems. Research by 바카라사이트 BBC found that 200 students at 바카라사이트 University of Bristol were doubling up in single rooms, while at 바카라사이트 University of Aberdeen, up to 300 were said to be staying in hotels at 바카라사이트 start of term.

This year, 바카라사이트 cap on student numbers was raised, allowing institutions to recruit up to an additional 30,000 students.
