The video above consists of an interview from a student of Aquaculture Institute and some parts of the strike inside the campus of University of Stirling in order to protest about redundancies.
University of Stirling faces a strike action after the decision making body, the Court, to start redundancies in one of the most famous research programs of the university, the Institute of Aquaculture. According to the University College Union (UCU), "the university has again failed to complete constructive consultation with the union before making the decision to axe staff".
It is said that the redundancies are going to happen since the Institute of Aquaculture has not provided any surplus to the university. This is not fair since the Institute focus on research. For two weeks now, on 21th of March and on 24th of March, many members of USC, students and teachers from aquaculture programs were protesting against job losses across UK. It is impressive that alumni who work at the Bangladesh Agricultural Univeristy organised a rally in their university in order to protest for redundancies at the University of Stilring.

After some interviews that I had with postgraduates from the MSc Aquaculture program, I found out and mostly I noticed how much devastated they were. They explained me that they were losing their supervisors with whom they were working their projects all these months. During my conversation with them, I felt their anger and sadness since I could be in their shoes. This strike is not the end...it's the beginning!
