The Guardian reports that students gathered at Goldsmiths to express dissatisfaction with the dispute, as industrial action over job cuts was entering its 21st week. The strike was described by the newspaper as record-breaking.
According to The Guardian, students said the dispute had disrupted timetables and courses. One international student told the newspaper that induction sessions had repeatedly turned into discussions about the strikes.
The Guardian’s report identifies the disruption to teaching and induction as the basis for the students’ call for compensation. It does not specify the amount or form of compensation sought, and the supplied reporting does not include an official response from Goldsmiths.
