Via Dilke: Journalist – “William Cullerne Bown, has revealed a briefing by Universities UK to Vice-Chancellors which suggests a sizeable rebellion of Lib Dem MPs and even ministers over tuition fees. Of course, any chance of a rebellion stopping a rise in fees depends upon the hypocrisy of the Labour Party, who introduced fees and would put them up if in power.” Not sure it’s a ‘rebellion’ to keep your word to students and party policy.
Mark Bergfeld, spokesman for the Education Activist Network, said: “We have the right to protest, we have the right to civil disobedience, we have the right to occupy our lecture halls.”
OK – then please let us, the taxpayers who contribute to your education, know in return what you consider your responsibilities to be. If you want to be listened to, then I suggest you let us know your views and suggestions for a way forward on the fees issue in a reasoned, unhectoring and less-confrontational manner. Otherwise you will simply be ignored and probably villified. The sight of students with expensive mobile phones, sipping Starbucks coffee and hailing taxis (all activity I observed a fortnight ago) does not exactly help people have sympathy with your cause.
