Open day next Wednesday...

[gelatinous]

ds has booked to go to a university department open day next Wednesday. It's a post offer visit to somewhere he thinks he's quite keen on going to, but he hasn't been before, so it's important he gets a good feel of the place & can talk to staff. Is everyone likely to be on strike, so he won't get a proper idea of the place or will it be business as usual? Can anyone who works in FE advise?

You should probably ring the uni and ask.

Thanks, I did so earlier. They said it would definitely go ahead and they had a plan B for if there weren't so many staff there. It just seems to me like it's likely to be a rather atypical day and I'm not sure how much that matters...

I don't think it'll be atypical. Wednesday afternoons tend to be 'sports time' anyway so you won't really see classes in action. We've been asked whether we will be on strike and there'll be contingency plans for those affected.
