Student Walk-Out Protests 2nd Class Status of Technological Universities
On Wednesday, October 22, students at Technological Universities across Ireland will walk out of classes, in protest at the continued abject failure of the government to fix significant problems in the TU system.
Students will walk out of lectures and labs at 12.00pm on Wednesday 22 October, and gather to protest:
• For Implementation of a full and adequate TU borrowing framework, allowing all Technological Universities access to capital funding for the construction of Purpose-Built Student Accommodation.
• For an increase in Postgraduate Stipend funding, ensuring payment of the full €25,000 research stipend, as previously promised and announced by central Government.
• Full implementation and resourcing of Professorships within the Technological University sector
• Increased funding for courses taught through the medium of Irish, along with amendments to the Technological Universities Act to include explicit references and commitments to Irish-medium education, mirroring those already present in the Universities Act.
