London Met’s governors today finally handed in their resignation following pressure from a London-wide demonstration against education cuts on Tuesday. London Met’s management were scandalised in the national press after making a complete mess of the university’s finances by claiming more government funding than they were supposed to. Congratulations and solidarity to the London Met campaign.

See a video of the protest here (Sussex banner hung from window 4mins in).
It was great to see the Sussex banner outside London Met last Tuesday. I shot the video that the main message here links to. The activism of students that day, both from London Met and elsewhere, was very encouraging. Good luck to everyone at Sussex with their own struggles.
