Students who support the lecturers’ strike
We would like the university to offer a fair compromise and negotiation to the striking lecturers of the University of Reading. We would also like access to the necessary resources to understand how the University of Reading will reimburse or create leniency in examinations and coursework for students who have been denied vital contact hours.
Why is this important?
The pension changes threaten young lecturers who are the future of higher education in the UK. Although we are aware that this strike is across the UK, this petition is to show that students at the University of Reading support and sympathise with their lecturers despite the disruption to their education. This petition is also vital because we deserve to know how the strikes will effect our grades and ultimately if there will be any reimbursement for the significant amount of education time missed, considering UK students are paying up to £9,250 a year for our education. This petition shows that students support their lecturers’ moral right to stand up for their pensions.
