🚨 Students and Affiliates of the University of Dundee 🚨
I have today signed this open letter as I oppose the merger plans forwarded by the University Executive Group (UEG).
Staff, students, and our local community all deserve better, especially during this a time of great damage to our local and national economies, and at a time when expert knowledge and research is so roundly dismissed on social media by mis/disinformation campaigns.
I urge all who have a stake in our university to consider this letter, and to sign it if they so wish. Please share this post to get as many signatures as possible!

Hi everyone!
Some students wrote an Open Letter to DUSA, urging them to oppose the proposed mergers. DUSA have since come out and said that they would oppose the plans, however we are still taking signatures to ensure that as many student voices are heard as possible.
The Letter also details some reasons against the merger, which we absolutely agree with. So if you, as a current student or alumni, wish to sign, then you can do so on the following link.

Hi everyone!
We have created this page to oppose the proposed merger of our three invaluable academic schools: The School of Education and Social Work, the School of Humanities, and the School of Social Sciences. This decision is supposedly in attempt to address the University’s deficit and we fundamentally oppose the merger.
Over the next few days we will be posting more on why we disagree with the proposals, we will discuss the proposals, and we will be publishing student testimonies.
If you would like to get involved and/or provide a testimony, please get in touch.
