Three institutions reject claims they are not following government guidance
Three universities have denied claims by the University and College Union that they are “flouting” the government’s Covid-19 safety guidelines.
The UCU claims that Edge Hill University, the University of Oxford and Manchester Metropolitan University are in breach of government guidelines. These stipulate that from 8 March in-person teaching can resume if subjects are practical or practice-based and required specialist equipment and facilities, and stress that “providers should not ask students to return if their course can reasonably be continued online”.
