There is going to be a joint-demonstration of students and staff at MMU, which will involve the Unions and the group "Manchester for Jobs and Education". It will start at 12.30 at the Ormond Building on All Saints Campus. It is in response to the 127 support staff cuts announced on the 16th of November, which will not only gut the MMU support staff, but also make 127 people's and their families have a wretched Christmas/Holiday period. In the light of the £1.3 million budget surplus for this year (2009-2010), and the Vice Chancellor's stupendous wage of £250,000, it is both reckless and inexcusable to go forward with these redundancies.
