The Board of Governors of London Metropolitan University are meeting on 15th December to consider their response to the recent reports into the financial fiasco they got us into.

Both staff unions, UNISON and UCU, and London Met students union, are now calling for their resignations.

The Staff Union will be presenting them with their petition
.

I EXPECT THAT THIS PROTEST WILL BE THE BIGGEST IN THE HISTORY OF LMU.

* Tuesday 15th December,
* 4.30pm Moorgate Building, (see map

This is now a matter of survival - the government has threatened to close London Metropolitan University if they don't go (Link to The Independent newspaper article - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/london-met-warned-that-it-could-be-closed-1835511.html)

Bring banners, placards, tell everyone you know to leave work/ lectures early - this is our university, we value it highly, and the BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAVE to go. They've done enough damage already, it's time for a Fresh start for London Met!
