Students at Strathclyde University have occupied the Geography and Sociology department on the eve of the university court meeting that will seal the closures of the Geography, Community Education and Music departments. The Sociology department will be turned into Social-Policy.
These course closures come in the context of other student courses and services being affected by Jim McDonalds ruthless campaign. These cuts are a clear ideological attack on the students and staff of this university. Jim McDonald has continually refused to engage with student and staff in any meaningful capacity. Management have made a back handed attempt to push through cuts when the majority of the student population are on holiday for the summer therefore highlighting the undemocratic procedures and lack of consultation with students and staff. The board of management are un-elected and un-representative of the student body. This occupation wished to oppose all cuts and to highlight the undemocratic procedures being pushed through over and over again by Jim McDonald. No to course closures No to staff redundancies. No to cuts.
