Literally closing the student services building to students..? And not sure how disregarding all the fantastic work LLC has done to provide a safe, welcoming, supportive space for mature students aligns with the Uni’s commitment to #senseofbelonging , #access and #StudentSuccess …

We're alarmed by the planned Ziff Building closure to students without appointments. We've written to the University urging suspension of planned changes until full consultation has taken place with all stakeholders. Support and solidarity to colleagues and students.

Now this is really #TakingTheZiff …

Instead of talking to students who protest in support of their staff or for climate action, Leeds Uni management have instead decided to close the *student services* building to students, move the Lifelong Learning Centre and shut the cafe!

STATEMENT FROM LEEDS STUDENT STAFF SOLIDARITY:

The University of Leeds are closing the Ziff Building to students over the threat of student occupations.

That’s right. The university are closing a building to their own students.

University of Leeds, reverse this decision.

So much love to Student Rebellion Leeds !! Rest up, see you next time 👀

I’m really proud to be part Leeds University Business School. Despite the occupation occurring in a LUBS building, the leaders of our school have chosen to recognise the actions of these young people -our students- as legitimate and genuine, in drawing attention to the climate emergency.

Really impressed with our Dean's statement about the Student Rebellion Leeds current occupation of 1 Leeds University Business School theatre. She calls for their action to be recognised as genuine and legitimate. I mean c'mon their demand are super radical: ethical careers #UOL twitter.com/SSSLeeds/statu…

I am very pleased with the statement by dean of my @LeedsBusinessSchool acknowledging genuine and legitimate spirit of the occupation by Student Rebellion Student Rebellion Leeds which is demanding end of funding from fossil companies and ethical careers. Central management should meet them!

Today, Uni of Leeds announced another £650 cost of living payment for staff members on pay grade scale 6 and below.

This is positive, however postgraduate researchers who teach are EXEMPT from this payment as they are treated as ‘workers’ instead of ‘staff’ due to casualisation.

You won't come to us, so we've come to you. We're taken the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building while still occupying Esther Simpson! We will occupy here until University of Leeds management talks to us.

We stand in solidarity with Student Rebellion ✊

It’s time for senior management to engage in dialogue with students and staff about how this university responds to the climate emergency.

TODAY is the final LUU consultation on strike action so make sure to make your voice heard.

The meeting is taking place online from 5-6pm: luu.org.uk/news/2022/10/2…

This is looking a little familiar...

Legendary stuff, the energy on campus was electric last night!!

This is where despair ends and tactics begin.

An enormous turnout in support of the Student Rebellion Leeds climate demands here at the University of Leeds. The demands are reasonable and should be adopted as a matter of urgency.

It’s time for the university to communicate instead of threatening students with intimidation tactics.

Really proud of everyone who held the line in the boycott. It's been so hard. And thanks to our amazing Occupy Leeds Uni students! We've been banging our heads against a brick wall for years and you all came along with a sledgehammer! Real #Solidarity

🚨BREAKING🚨

Members have negotiated an agreement for local progress on USS pensions, casualisation, workloads, equal pay & grading so have suspended our marking & assessment boycott. These local agreements are in support of our ongoing national dispute bit.ly/3MGSRQD

Senior managers got wind of the notification email just an hour before it went out to all staff. They were not consulted. They were not given advice on how to manage the issue.
