The Glasgow Caledonian Students’ Association supports staff and campus trade unions in the ongoing dispute concerning 100 proposed redundancies at the University. 

The Association recognises the severe impact a reduction in staffing levels would have on student experience and quality of education, especially in light of GCU already having the poorest student-to-staff ratio in the UK. (The Guardian University Guide 2027) 

The Students’ Association will:

• Declare its support for strike action in a public statement. 
• Direct Full-Time Officers to immediately undertake work to educate students on the reasons for and impact of the proposed redundancies, as well as how students can support strike action. 
• Direct Full-Time Officers to immediately engage with and assist campus trade unions and student solidarity campaigns.

    The treatment of the 100 is absolutely shocking alongside the work of admin at the moment!

    Shocked and concerned at the level of apathy demonstrated by the university.
