Concerned about strike action at UoN

[JitneyJones]

DD is an undergraduate at University of Nottingham. Staff have announced strike action. I'm concerned how this will impact her and her cohort as this is their final year. She got 55% overall for her 2nd year and is hoping to achieve a 2.1.

Yeah i tried to edit that bit after doing the math but i couldnt figure out how, seems the option disappears after a set amount of time? Still, they said it varies depending on the level of disruption, so some people got 100 and some got like 1.3k.

Sadly as much as you rightfully complain, there really isnt much else one can do. Its just not feasible to get such a high amount of compensation back as of yet, and there is no process in place to do so for any university in this predicament. Especially as for most students the strikes dont mean the cancellation of the majority of their classes so much as a sporadic lecture cancellation, so not many can make an argument for the majority of their student loans back like youd wish. Id love that as well.

But the teachers have to strike regardless, if they and many others want to keep their livelihoods. Not to mention that the standard of teaching, course content and help for students will get notably worse otherwise regardless, as large swathes of veteran teachers will take voluntary redundancies on top of the mandatory ones that will soon happen because they dont want to risk being unceremoniously fired without any benefits. You should instead blame the administration who brought things to this point in the first place.
