Last night (Thursday 25 April) a number of tents were erected on the Piazza by Warwick Stands With Palestine – a coalition of student and staff organisations. We are talking to members of the coalition and engaging positively. We are aware of an agenda for action that has been shared via social media channels. The protest is planned for Friday 26 April and Saturday 27 April and activities have been planned until 5.30pm. Although freedom of speech is a vital component of university life, we remind staff and students to respect the views that are different from their own, with kindness, respect and empathy. We will of course, keep you up to date with any developments.

Do you have a great idea for celebrating Warwick’s 60th anniversary – but also some questions? Would you like some guidance on filling in the submission form? Join an online drop-in session (open to all staff) to talk to the team.  

Who do you think deserves to be recognised for celebrating diversity, supporting an inclusive culture, or leading on social inclusion and influencing change? Nominate them for the Social Inclusion Staff Award before Friday 10 May.
