Students strike in protest at DEL cuts
The protest took place outside the SU
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.
Ciaran, a Property Management student at UUJ who was involved in he protest said: “Students have been targeted because they are the least likely to speak out.”
Numbers at today’s protest fell massively short of what was expected, with only a small crowd of students outside the SU.
QUBSU President Ciaran Gallagher said: “This is a cause for concern for the student body and younger family members.
