Protest At The University Of London
EDM number 867 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 10/12/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education, Industrial relations, Police and Students.
That this House believes that police have no place on university campuses and other seats of learning; condemns the University of London management for calling in officers and private security to break up a peaceful protest against plans to close down the student union; deplores the naked mendacity in the statement from Chris Cobb, the University's chief operating officer, that the University would always support peaceful and legitimate protest; and demands that the University's Vice-Chancellor and its Collegiate Council act immediately to rescind the closure of the union and the prohibition of protest at Senate House.
This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
