Let's do some maths! TCD fined TCD Students' Union 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈 €214,000, around 20% of its annual budget. This is slightly more than what college spends on the annual salary of 30 hourly-paid, PhD-qualified lecturers doing what it considers to be a full teaching load. Who is damaging whose reputation?

This escalation and intimidation by senior administration in Trinity College Dublin is dangerous and deeply worrying. Solidarity with student activists and union leaders.

Never have I been more embarrassed to associated with Trinity College Dublin.

This is what Linda Doyle and the university admin does to PhDs protesting for the right to maternity leave, a minimum wage and basic social insurance payments.

Did Linda Doyle not literally promise in her manifesto that there would NO fee increases under her leadership? Now you're punishing the students' representatives for rightly fighting back ??? Linda Doyle Protests are MEANT to be disruptive ?

Trinity are taking a page out of American universities' playbook by punishing students standing up for social justice. Solidarity László Molnárfi (SU) Jenny 🇵🇸 and everyone else. Irish colleges want students to take fee increases lying down. It's not 'discipline', it's blackmail!

Great letter on the silence, inaction and in some cases repression of dissent that Irish universities are perpetuating in the face of the horrendous genocide in #Gaza , #Palestine . If positive social change is as important to University Of Limerick as it often states, then where is the action?

As shown by growing student protests, our universities should play a key role in highlighting and confronting injustice. If in the Cork area on Friday 10 May, learn more about the role of Israeli universities. Maya Wind will discuss her book ‘Towers of Ivory and Steel’

We will not be intimidated! Shameful union-busting from Trinity College Dublin Linda Doyle. Students and staff stand united against university management and their suppression of the student voice protesting for Palestine, as well as fees, rents and postgraduate workers' rights.

Big thank you to everyone who signed this letter, solidarity between staff and students is needed now more than ever! #FreePalestine

Letter of solidarity from #BZU and the Palestinian universities to the #NSJP the Palestine solidarity movement at the #US universities.

TRINITY INVITED U.S MILITARY FUNDING ARM TO COLLEGE AND MOVED EVENT OFF CAMPUS TO AVOID OPPOSITION. The Provosts’ Office was aware of the visit as early as the 12th of February, documents released under the FOI Act show. DOCUMENTS BELOW: drive.google.com/drive/folders/… Trinity BDS Campaign 🇵🇸

A while ago we asked Jessica Whyte @[email protected] & Marina Velickovic if they would collect a reading list on #GazaGenocide We really hope this collection of critical (legal) thought will be helpful as people try to understand events & prepare to teach them! criticallegalthinking.com/2024/05/01/gaz…

The use of police to brutally quash peaceful protests in US universities is disgrusting and seeing our SU President being dragged from a room as she voiced her protest made me ashamed of our university. All the while no university is left in Gaza because they’ve been obliterated.

While the presidents of Israel's universities encourage U.S. universities to sic the cops on their students, the leaders of Palestine's universities offer their appreciation. 'We welcome you at our universities in a liberated Palestine.'

Learning outcomes, as students teach us hope
