The summit on protest will be held in the 果冻传媒 Arts Centre Cinema on 12 March between 4-6pm. Speakers will include the University Vice Chancellor, Nigel Thrift, Coventry Police commander Chief Superintendent Claire Bell, Student Union President Cat Turhan, and representatives of ‘果冻传媒 for Free Education'.
The first half of the summit will be devoted to giving each speaker an opportunity to respond to issues raised by the survey, with a particular focus on the questions that are directly relevant to each speaker in section 4 of the review. The second half will be devoted to questions from the floor.
The summit will be videoed using ‘lecture capture’ by Audio Visual Services, so that all staff and students who have not been able to get a space can watch the event. We will send all 果冻传媒 staff and students a web-link to access the video on the morning of Thursday 12 March. You will be able to watch simultaneously on any computer and send in your questions/comments for the attention of the speakers. You will also be able to watch the video later, if you are otherwise engaged at the time.
