    With today's announcement (2 April) for those of us taught by UCU members the academic year just more or less ended. Students *don't* universally support striking staff - at least in my department - AUSA shouldn't assume in its statements we all do. Hold an EGM and cross-campus ballot. If students support - let's see AUSA officers on the UCU picket lines, mobilising students to join them and lobbying UoA for meaningful discussions. If students vote against - AUSA should organise counter-UCU demonstrations. Either way AUSA should be involved in this full time right now, starting by emailing every student with the facts behind the strike from both sides - posters everywhere too. If students vote against we also need lists produced of which courses are dominated by UCU teaching to help us choose between options next year. Just please don't do nothing as usual.

    Tell us more about why you want the Students' Union to do it

    UoA does need to save a huge amount of money to stay afloat and they also know pre-recorded video and inevitably soon AI-based teaching don't go on strike. This industrial action and the cutbacks themselves are a massive issue involving UoA students' future education - and the chance for AUSA to shine and show its own worth by getting involved.
