Deiseb
Students against proposed cuts
Categori: University Petition
Pleidlais ar gau
This student led petition was discussed by our Student Council last Thursday (29/11/20). Following this, our Student Council passed the policy below:
๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ ๐พ๐ช๐ฉ๐จ
๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ดโ ๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ:
โข lobby the University to extend the formal consultation period by 1 month for the Student body to conduct a meaningful consultation. The motions passed here are based on a refusal for the requested extension.
โข Reject the proposals as we feel this is a knee-jerk reaction to the current situation and a long-term view is more favourable.
โข Support any Industrial Action which may occur.
Since we lobbied for the release of the proposed changes to the student body a couple of weeks ago, we have been working tirelessly to ensure that you, our students, are able to effectively input into and question these proposals. Our plan is to produce a report that outlines the Student response to the proposed Changes and present this to the University executive.
We have held numerous feedback sessions with Course Representatives from varying Schools, heard from our Student Councillors and received numerous feedback both verbally and electronically from the wider student body. All of this feedback will be used to inform our report. We have also formally asked for and received an extension to the consultation period and will be pushing for a further extension following the passing of policy at Student Council.
We want to reassure you, that as your Student Representatives, we will vigorously continue to ensure that you are able to feed into and influence the proposed changes, thoroughly scrutinising the University on any changes which will negatively impact the Student experience. This will be through continued conversations we have with the University Executive and via the report we produce.
We still want your feedback, and you can find more information, watch video summaries, and read about all of the proposals on our website here www.undebbangor.com/businesscases

Excellent petition.
Thanks for creating this!!
Quite right too. Some exemplary teaching at Bangor
I fully support this petition!
Definitely! Great petition!
I fully support this petition!
I completely agree. As an international student, I'm paying twice as much of tuition fees; I fully back this petition.
Totally behind this! The consequences of the administration's financial failures should not fall onto the academic staff and students
Fully backed and signed
As an international student I support this!
Fully backed and signed
Agree
Teaching at Bangor is still top-tier, but it wonโt continue to be if the university keeps making cuts. How are lecturers supposed to teach effectively with the stress that their job might be the next to go?
Full support to lecturers
I think that the aspect of cuts is already having an adverse impact on teaching and support. As a researcher, I rely on the library team. There are plans for an upset of the library that supports the schools.
Thank you for all your time on this, I am fully onboard.
Completely behind this. Thank you for creating this!
Thanks for that. I am looking something like that
Thank you. I completely support this.
Thank you.I completely support this.
I disagree with some of the points you make. I think any cuts regarding student services need to be seriously considered and inclusive of the students thoughts before anything is finalised, however the university, like all others in this country, are in a really tricky financial situation so there has to be a reduction of some services to retain a high standard of education. Regarding the refund of fees, I don't think it would be worth it. Personally, I'd prefer the uni keep my ยฃ9000 and do something with it, rather than causing more cuts and job losses because there's even less money. I know the situation isn't ideal, but the uni has the student's interest in mind, and a lot of the pressure to make cuts is coming from the government, rather than the uni itself.
wedi'i neud, diolch yn fawr
I agree with all the above
The refund of the fees isn't necessary as long as the job losses can be avoided. It is really detrimental to everyone to do this in the middle of the year, and it is unfair to both students and staff to do this at all.
I think we need more academic staff, not fewer. We should be aiming to increase Bangorโs profile and make it one of the best universities in the UK. It has such a rich cultural tradition and so much potential. Why not aim for the stars? Itโs one way of getting to the moon. Dwiโn credu mai MWY o staff academaidd sydd ei angen ar y Brifysgol, nid llai. Fe ddylid hyrwyddo Bangor fel lle i astudio aโi wneud yn un o brifysgolion gorau y DU. Fe ewch chi ymhell, gyfeillion, dim ond i chi anelu am y sรชr.
Am ymgyrch wych! Mae fy nghefnogaeth i'n gyfan gwbl y tu รดl i chi. Diolch yn fawr!
Cytuno 100% hefo'r ddeiseb hon. Siomedig iawn fod adran y Gymraeg yn cael ei effeithio, yn ogystal a'r gweddill. Mae'r iaith angen ei hybu, yn enwedig heddiw - nid ei danseilio fel hyn. Mae meddwl yn ogystal na fyddai Llenyddiaeth yn cael ei ddysgu o fewn y pwnc petai'r cynlluniau newydd yn mynd yn ei flaen yn siomedig iawn. Mae staff, a chyfleusterau adran y Gymraeg ym Mangor mor dda, ac mi fydd hyn yn golled mawr i ni gyd.
