Since IMC Bristol can't be bothered to copy and paste, here's the article -

Not only is the government cutting education, but within the university there is patriarchy, worsening conditions for staff, and a lack of democracy. As a way of beginning to fight back, Bristol University students have organised a 'week of action and events' leading up to the NUS National Demonstration taking place in London on 21st November (more details:  http://www.ubu.org.uk/voice/nusdemo2012/ ). The week's events aim to look at how to create democracy, equality and fairness in higher education, and how to oppose austerity measures inflicted upon us from above.

This has been organised as part of the Global Education Strike (  http://ism-global.net/call2action_GES ). The strike is being co-ordinated through the International Students Movement - a communication platform used by education activists worldwide.

the idea of having a feed into uk imc is so no one has to copy & paste - people just have to click on the link...not too much effort really.
