I have created the Student halls champions initiative to act as a feedback system from students who are living in halls and have first hand experience. Especially during a second lockdown we must make sure that students feel safe and that their fundamental rights are being met!
Want to know how the council is working with the @portsmouthuni & Hampshire Constabulary to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections? Last week, colleagues joined Mark Waldron, editor of @portsmouthnews for a discussion - Watch again & read more here: bit.ly/UoPcovid

We have been working extremely hard to organise a host of events for #BlackHistoryMonth. The themes for the 4 weeks of the month are education, awareness, campaigning and celebration. Keep an eye out on our socials as we’ll be releasing the BHM timetable very soon!

Proud to work at a university that looks at potential and not just grades, especially given the mess made with this year’s results.
We want to reassure all A-level and BTEC students during this difficult and stressful time. We look at more than your grades, we look at your potential. To speak to us and talk things through, call us 02392 808485 or contact us via live chat. port.ac.uk/study/undergradua…

This appeared in an @educationgovuk document today. It is nothing short of insulting from this Government who may be suprised to know our "niche student activism" has done everything from leading anti-apartheid movements to saving millions of pounds for students.

Today marks the arrival of Ramadan. For our Muslim students we understand that this year will be very different in the current climate. We have pulled together some online tools and support for you at buff.ly/2yBSyWZ

Helpful to catch up with @portsmouthsu officers and actions being taken to help @portsmouthuni students during this crisis. We discussed issues over exams, accommodation, lost earnings and wellbeing. Government is acting on concerns of those in work; our students deserve no less

I’ve teamed up with @portsmouthuni @portsmouthsu in calling on student accommodation providers in #Portsmouth to release students from their contracts. It’s time for housing providers to do the right thing to stop hardship👇🏻 – at Portsmouth, England

We support the 'No Detriment Policy' being implemented both in @unisouthampton and Exeter university, to ensure a more empathetic and ethical approach by our educational institutions in this current global health crisis. – at Hounslow, London
A statement from the Sabbs, regarding the recent petition calling for the University to implement a 'No Detriment Policy', so student's grades are not negatively impacted from the disruption caused by Coronavirus. They are actively lobbying the University on this stance for you.
Research has shown that only 7% of students attest that their university has discussed the BAME attainment gap with the student body. A policy has been introduced which will affect all A-Level and GCSE students, let's explore how the most vulnerable are disadvantaged by this.

Fantastic to see a private accommodation provider making a decision that will have such a positive impact on students during this uncertain time. Let's hope that the rest of them will follow in Unite's footsteps! @Prime_Student @comelivewithus @CRM_Students @nusuk 👏👏👏
COVID-19 update: We're fully committed to providing all the support we can at this difficult time. The latest information for students wishing to stay with us, and those who do not plan to return for the third term is available here: bit.ly/2WCVvjN

Would appreciate any support on the awareness campaign I have started surrounding the use of predicted grades to dictate your future at HE, and how they disadvantage both BAME & the working class students! So please go follow, like and repost and let's make some noise on this! – at Hounslow, London
