Save Ruskin College

Calling on all ex-students and sympathisers; Ruskin College has for over 100 years played and important role in the education of trade union and labour activists, offering residential education to working class people, with no prior education. A recent decision by the management will mean that the college will move to a new site, developed with an anti-union building firm under a PFI scheme, this new site will offer 1/3 less educational places. While at the moment crèche facilities do exist, the new site will not cater for such needs. In a recent meeting held in Oxford, two hundred people packed the local town hall; overwhelming support was pledged to a group of ex students and members of the trade union community who have come together to form the Ruskin Defence Committee, this campaign group has the support of the Lecturers AUT branch, Oxford Trades Union Council, Ruskin Anarchist Faction, RMT South East region and many other groups. The Ruskin Defence Committee asks for the support and affiliation of as many groups and individuals as possible for more information a campaign pack, or to send letters of support, please email us, at. ruskindefencecommittee@yahoo.co.uk
