FREEDOM OF THOUGHT=FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
STUDENTS are not SUSPECTS
UNIVERSITIES are not BORDER AGENTS
Open public meeting, organised by Goldsmiths UCU and Goldsmiths Students'
Union
The Stretch (Students' Union), 5PM, Wednesday 2 December
AGENDA:
The new 'points based' immigration rules represent a serious threat to
campus democracy and freedom of speech. They require non-EU students and
staff to have biometric ID cards, involve demands on the financial
background of applicants and mean that staff are obliged to report
students to the UK Border Agency when they have not attended regularly.
Come and hear why these new immigration controls are unfair, unwarranted
and undemocratic.
SPEAKERS:
Helena Kennedy QC, Labour Peer and Civil Rights Campaigner
Manick Govinda, Head of artists' advisory services, Artsadmin, and
initiator of the campaign against visa restrictions for artists
Tom Hickey, National Executive, University College Union (UCU)
James Haywood, National Executive, National Union of Students (NUS)
All welcome.
