Will be interesting to see if Sheffield follows Newcastle’s honourable (and so far unique?) example and automatically distributes cash compensation for loss of teaching to its student fee payers for breach of the U-S contract and of CRA15 - such compensation funded from the docking of strikers’ salary? The NUS, OfS, OIA , Which?, Trading Standards, et al, should be leaning on Us to follow the Newcastle approach - but, of course, we can expect only silence from the HE industry body in the form of the UUK!
