As workers (and former workers) at educational institutions across Leeds, we wish to express our support for the occupation of the Michael Sadler Building currently under way at the University of Leeds. This is a critical moment for the future of higher education and young people all over the country are courageously leading the fightback. We urge the University to take note of their demands, not to penalise or victimise those taking part in anyway, or use force against the students involved in the occupation. We urge the Vice-Chancellor to express vocal opposition to the current government's destructive agenda for higher education and to join the anti-fees movement.
