Ethical investment 'die-in' planned at Nottingham Uni

Students of the Nottingham Student Peace Movement have decided to hold a die-in on May 9 in protest at the University's lack of progress in switching its investments to funds that are ethically managed.
We are hoping the event - outside Hallward Library, University Campus - will tie this issue in to the ongoing campaigns against the commodification of education and in solidarity with the AUT.
It seems outrageous that the University is willing to invest in arms but not their staff. It is equally unpalatable that, whilst the University profits from the sale of arms, students must pay large sums of money to get an education.
Please come along to help us to raise awareness and distribute information about the University's investments in the arms trade.
We'll be meeting on the hill near the back of the Portland Building at 11.30am on Tuesday 9th May, aiming to go to the library at midday. Anyone with expertise in making fake blood will be especially welcome!
