SUS-SEXIN' IT UP

Sussex university management backed down in the face of student and staff pressure this week as it agreed to reinstate the ‘Sussex Six’ – the students suspended or excluded over the occupation of the VCEG offices (See SchNEWS 713).

This came after an 8 day occupation of a lecture hall and a vote overwhelming in favour of a motion of ‘No Confidence’ in the university’s management. The teachers’ strike continues, supported by Stop the Cuts.
