USI urges Labour: Stand up for students

[…]USI urges the Minister and his colleagues to urgently seek a re-negotiation of the agreement in order to ensure that students and their families won’t be targeted for further cutbacks and fee increases. The pay of senior academics and staff, incremental wage increases and entitlements all need to be examined before Budget 2013. Further cuts to the grant and increases in tuition fees are inequitable and unsustainable ways to fund a sector that is overflowing with wasteful spending. UCC President Michael Murphy is now on record saying that he finds it ‘challenging’ to live on €232,000. Dr Murphy is the […]

USI Welcome the Re-Introduction of Postgraduate Grants and Encourage Students to Apply Early

[…]their studies” she said. The postgraduate grant was removed by the Government in 2012 in order to save €50 million per year. The move was criticised heavily at the time by many groups including USI. The decision resulted in a 5% reduction in the number of students applying for postgraduate courses. The postgraduate grant, which will be available for postgraduate students entering college in September 2017, was announced in Budget 2018 and came after a prolonged campaign by USI on the issue. The programme for a Partnership Government contained a commitment “to increase support for postgraduates with a particular focus […]

‘No announcement of funding for reduction in Student Contribution Charge is not acceptable’

[…]and universities, which is needed and will come with reform of our institutions. But we have to stop relying on students and their families to pay such a significant amount towards the funding of higher education. “While there has been mention of bringing down the costs for students through better student grants and reduced student fees, there is no funding allocated for the reduction of the Student Contribution Charge. There needs to be a holistic approach to removing the barriers to third level education and that must involve the scrapping of student fees and bringing the SUSI grant to a […]

USI backs call for an urgent increase to postgraduate research stipends

[…]which I have signed on behalf of USI, calls for all stipends to be increased to €28,000 in order to address inflation, the housing and cost-of-living crises, and in recognition of the new government valuation on PhD-level research as seen in their most recent PhD funding initiative.” The open letter goes on to say that that PhD students feel they are not valued, and some have expressed doubts as to the point of continuing when they could get much better-paid jobs in the industry.

Cost of college passes €1,000 per month: Students respond

[…]education as they see the value that it brings, are clearly making enormous sacrifices in order to bring this about. The increasing borrowing of these parents highlighted in the survey continues a worrying trend whereby the most vulnerable families are trapped in a spiral of more and more debt. Any further increases in the costs of college through increased student charges or reductions in the maintenance grant will merely serve to further attack struggling families already crippled by wider recessionary measures. We would call on the Government and Minister Quinn to have the costs of college at the forefront of […]

Re-opening funding package welcome, clarity needed on some aspects

[…]no mention of a change to the Student Contribution Charge. We have called for a €500 reduction to be made to that charge to ease some of the financial pressure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And while a boost for the Student Assistance Fund is very welcome, policies will need to be reviewed to ensure all students who are in need can apply.

USI urges Minister for Health to back international students health insurance bill

[…]to help protect the higher education sector in Ireland. International students are huge contributors to third level institutions, our society and the Irish economy as a whole. The increase in these insurance costs since October 2020, will impact the number of students coming to Ireland and there is significant disquiet amongst our students with our member colleges as to how the Government can stand over such an increase, without intervening.

USI Fighting to Keep Insurance Rates for International Students Down

[…]thus far have been ruled out of order by the chair.    International students already pay extortionate fees to study in this country and should be able to avail of insurance that meets their needs and doesn’t put them out of pocket by hundreds of euros. Moreover, the insurance cover currently used by students go beyond health and also includes repatriation, but under this judgement there will be no repatriation covered, meaning that students are likely to have worse cover than at present. Up to 30,000 students could be affected by the changes, should they be implemented.    We are […]
