We the undersigned believe that education and particularly the HE and FE sectors have a major role to play in helping the economy out of the current recession. We are extremely concerned that any reduction in resources to HE sector will adversely affect the future of universities and put our students at a disadvantage to those from more far sighted countries which are investing heavily in their education sector. We therefore call upon the governors and VC of UWE to work with trade unions to make the strongest possible representations to the government against the proposed cuts in education.

I was just reading through the latest comments and honestly the sheer frustration is palpable because people are really scared about what this means for their own futures. It is wild how much this is spiraling beyond my little corner of the department yet the silence from the top is still just so loud.

My degree is already expensive enough. Don't take away the resources we actually need to get a job later on.

UWE needs to step up and tell the government how bad this is going to get if they go through with these cuts. Seriously.

Total joke. They keep spending money on pointless projects while the actual unis are falling apart. Do better.
