Vice Chancellor says it will be 'Business as Usual'

Prof Peter Gregson, University President and Vice Chancellor has written to students regarding the ongoing industrial action by the Association of University Teachers (AUT). Prof. Gregson said, "The University's priority is to ensure that students do not suffer because of the dispute between the AUT and employers nationally, and it is hoped that an agreement will be reached quickly.

"The University is continuing to plan as normal for the completion of all student-related activities, including examinations and assessments, and Heads of School are being asked to ensure that this work is undertaken on a timely basis and completed in accordance with the normal deadlines. I will be keeping the President of the Students' Union informed of developments."

The AUT took similar action last year with little impact on student assesment or graduation.
