Think they’re taking the piss? Feel free to use faculties to change for the march & free breakfast meanwhile loads of staff being made redundant or taking severance pay! Ridiculous

I don't get this. It's July. Most students have left for the summer. I had 10 students in to resit an exam last week. Apart from us the building was deserted.

Is this incitement to harass a University?

Like this?

Yeah, I don't see the issue here. University finances are not Student Union finances.

The fact that it seems to be aimed at 5 years olds on the other hand...

Where on earth are you getting that from?

Yes, it's probably funded by the Students' Union, not the university.

But what march? Pride month is in June - why does it seem to last for 2 months?

All year round. It won't be long now till Trans Day of Remembrance.

It's understandable you'd think that, given the way trans rights activists spring into action to try to disrupt any events run by people critical of gender ideology. However, fortunately, we don't respond in kind. If people want to have a march and a breakfast, let them get on with it.

I am old and out of touch, but face painting? Crafting? When I was a student in the early 1980s we were desperate to be seen as adults. Now it seems to be ther other way around.

I don't understand the connection? Surely this is funded by the SU which is not the university. It will be the university making the staff cuts.

That's what I thought, and using changing facilities isn't costing anything anyway. It's a student union event not a university-organised one.
