Academics union calls for Glyndwr Uni resignations

The University and College Union has again called for the resignation of the leadership at Glyndwr University, after the North Wales institution was suspended from recruiting overseas students.

At least 230 overseas students at Glyndwr have been identified as having 'invalid' English language test results.

Members of the academics union recently voted in favour of strike action, in a dispute over 60 potential job losses.

Union bosses have repeatedly called on the university's vice chancellor and chair of governors to resign because of what they describe as its "increasingly worrying financial situation."

Margaret Phelan from UCU Wales said today: "This latest announcement from the Home Office adds yet more weight to our members' calls for the university leadership to resign. It is clear that there are serious problems with how Glyndwr is being run and those in charge need to be held accountable."
