Freedom of Thought=Freedom of Movement//Students are not Suspects//
Universities are not Border Agents
The Stretch (Students' Union), 5PM, Wednesday 2 December
Agenda:
The
new 'points based' immigration rules represent a serious threat to
campus democracy and freedom of speech. They require non-EU students
and staff to have biometric ID cards, involve demands on the financial
background of applicants and mean that staff are obliged to report
students to the UK Border Agency when they have not attended regularly.
Come and hear why these new immigration controls are unfair, unwarranted and undemocratic.
Organised in collaboration with Goldsmiths Students' Union.
Speakers:
Helena Kennedy QC, Labour Peer and Civil Rights Campaigner)
Manick Govinda, Head of artists' advisory services, Artsadmin, and initiator of the campaign against visa restrictions for artists
Tom Hickey, National Executive, University College Union (UCU)
James Haywood, National Executive, National Union of Students (NUS)
