Dear members,
Thank you again for coming to the meeting, showing your enormous strength, perseverance and dogged support to change FN2 and the trajectory this management is taking our beloved university to. The debate on each item was excellent. The message was loud and clear. We will write later again on the key points agreed on .
There was one point that is time sensitive, thus I have been asked to write on this today. A clear majority was in favour to support a boycott of graduations starting tomorrow. Hence, we herewith asks all members not to attend any graduations, labelled by management as celebrations. Considering job cuts and course closures, proposed by our management, there is nothing to celebrate at this point in time!
Two other key points, the Vote of No Confidence in Council, members asked for an important amendment to it, which was done and final approval of the amended Vote of No Confidence in Council, we will resend the latest version. What was brilliant was that members voted (>90%) on strategic strike actions next term. We will of course hold a meeting, nearer to next term, to discuss days etc.
Look out for an email from us next week, on the outcomes of our consultations. Two this week and a final one next week! Do keep an eye out on all the media publicity and interest from National newspapers. Links will be in our newsletter. They directly resulted from all your actions and external reach.
Solidarity and thank you,
