A crowd of students have gathered outside the Students’ Union today in protest at cuts to the Department of Employment and Learning, which may affect QUB.
We recently reported on how the Northern Irish department for Employment and Learning is set to lose 10.8% of funding,potentially causing a severe cut of University places, jobs and courses.
Join us tomorrow 12 noon at the SU to protest against DEL cuts. Which will see higher fees and clubs & societies funding cut! #QUB #notocuts
