Negotiations must ‘restart’ to prevent graduation delays – Cambridge university

N

egotiations over university staff’s pay must restart “urgently” to prevent students from facing graduation delays due to a marking boycott, the University of Cambridge’s leader has said.

The dispute should be “resolved as quickly as possible” so that students have their exams marked on time, a statement from Dr Anthony Freeling, acting vice-chancellor at Cambridge University, and Michael Abberton, president of the University and College Union (UCU) Cambridge branch, has urged.
