Commentary on the Sussex not for Sale campaign at Sussex University
Critical article on the Sussex Not For Sale campaign at the University of Sussex, written by an active member of the campaign.
Higher education is going through significant transformations on an international, or at least European, level. The UK is not immune to these changes. Whilst there have been various small protests in places around the country to resist these changes, no major local campaign has existed as of yet. Sussex not 4 Sale was born out of this context.
