Why this petition matters
Started by Mhairi Tordoff
The University of Sussex has announced that staff on casual or temporary contracts should be terminated as soon as possible due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
The University does not need to do this. Students are continuing to pay fees and Adam Tickell himself has said the university's finances are 'healthy'.
Staff at Sussex have been working flat out to get teaching online and make sure their students are safe and well. They should not be treated like this.
The University of Sussex is profiteering off a health pandemic, throwing their most vulnerable staff under the bus to save a bit of money.
We need to stop them!
