This is important. In a powerful episode of Pick Up the Mic, hosted by Brunel alumni Jeffrey, Ruth (Head of Support & Representation at the Union), along with student officers Jacob (Disability Officer) and Iwan (Home Students Officer), joined Bianca De Haan (Senior Lecturer in Psychology & UCU Branch Chair) to discuss the urgent threat of proposed staff redundancies at Brunel.
Why it matters:
The cuts could seriously impact teaching quality and student support services—leaving students with fewer resources and less personal attention. Ruth, Jacob, and Iwan explain how these changes will hit students hardest, especially those who rely on support networks. Protecting the staff who make Brunel what it is has never been more crucial.
