‘The student movement is sending a very clear message that it is either full divestment or students in tents on campuses’ – USI pledges full support to UCC BDS and UCCSU

[…]and people. One particular concern of UCC BDS, UCCSU and USI, is UCC’s involvement in Horizon 2024, a multi-lateral research project which includes Israel, that earlier this year released a white paper exploring how research being carried out by higher education institutions can be used for civilian and military purposes. Involvement in Horizon 2024 makes Higher Education Institutions complicit in the actions of the Israeli military. The protesting students have clearly laid out their demands, which include divesting fully from Israel and setting BDS standards as university-wide policy. Setting out the union’s support for the encampment, USI Vice President for […]

USI, TCDSU and Trinity BDS will follow the process step-by-step to ensure Trinity keeps to today’s agreement to work towards ‘full divestment from Israel’

[…]on this issue. Even just over the last week, we have seen management go from fining the SU €214,000 and making threats of sanctions against individual students, to what has happened today. And that fine is still in place currently. The local union and USI will work together to ensure these promises are kept and that the arbitrary fines and threats are quashed. “Students all over Ireland have been calling for their institutions to divest from Israel and have led and joined protests for an end to the genocide and for a free Palestine. Trinity has realised the strength of […]

USI stands in solidarity with Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union encampment and pledges support for other similar student protests

[…]also strongly condemns attempts by the college to fine the Students’ Union €214,000 for using their right to protest to demand the university cuts ties with Israel, as it carries out genocide against the Palestinian people. TCD Students’ Union and Trinity students have carried out a number of protests against the college’s links with Israel and against attempts by Trinity management to increase rents and fees for students, which are already prohibitively high. USI members and other student representatives and activists have also attended these protests this year and we will continue to stand with the union. The announcement of […]

Union of Students in Ireland welcomes scrapping of Green Paper on Disability Reform, hard fought for by disability activists

The Union of Students in Ireland congratulates everyone involved in the Scrap the Green Paper coalition for its success in campaigning for Government not to go ahead with the changes to disability payments. USI is completely opposed to the changes that disability groups said would not help break down the barriers that face people trying to enter the workforce and would only leave them financially worse-off. In opposing the green paper, USI had said that Government should be looking to address the societal challenges that people with disabilities face in engaging with education, including third level, and in developing meaningful careers. And the union […]

Taoiseach Simon Harris must show students of Ireland that he is not ‘all talk’ on accommodation crisis and soaring cost of going to college

Now is the time for Taoiseach Simon Harris to prove to the students of Ireland that he is not just ‘all talk’ by delivering long overdue and badly needed change to our higher education system, says the Union of Students in Ireland. USI has met with Simon Harris on numerous occasions since he was appointed Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science in June 2020, but has not seen any real change to improve the increasingly stressful situation facing students in Ireland. Any measures that have been introduced have been temporary, piecemeal, or simply PR exercises aimed at making […]

Students have no confidence in this Government and Taoiseach’s resignation should trigger general election

The Union of Students in Ireland is joining calls for an immediate general election, saying students have no confidence in the Government and now is the time for change, with Leo Varadkar announcing his resignation today. Students have told USI clearly that they have no confidence in this Government to take the action that is badly needed on student issues, and Students’ Union officers voted in favour of a no-confidence motion at a recent national meeting. With Taoiseach Varadkar stepping down as leader of Fine Gael and announcing his plan to resign as leader of the Government, the people should […]
