Joint statement from Save the Vet School Campaign at University of Cambridge

@ducuuo.bsky.social, Newcastle UCU and Brunel UCU are on strike today, battling job cuts and management failure. Sending solidarity and strength.

Yesterday, we joined hundreds of students and staff in showing our support for the Cambridge Vet School. Our message was clear: the University must allow continued Undergraduate admission, and invest in the Department’s long-term future 🐾
