We the undersigned students and staff at the University of Birmingham believe that, in the light of sweeping cuts to the HE budget, the trebling of tuition fees, and incoherent access policies, all decided on without adequate consultation, that the University should communicate to HM Government, as soon as possible, that it has no confidence in the policies of the Minister of State for Universities and Science, and that this duty be delegated to the Council.
I am currently drafting a formal letter to the University Council to ensure this motion is added to the agenda for their next session. The focus remains on establishing a direct channel for our concerns regarding recent policy shifts.

The volume of support from staff and students has moved this issue into a position where the university administration can no longer ignore our request for a formal review. I am now preparing the documentation required to present these demands to the University Council during their next session.

Willetts has absolutely destroyed the system. Fees are a joke and he does not care about students at all.

Finally some action. The uni needs to stand up to him instead of just letting it happen.
