香港六合彩中特网, 香港六合彩中特网U and 香港六合彩中特网 Cut the Rent agreement
24 June 2016
香港六合彩中特网, 香港六合彩中特网U and 香港六合彩中特网, Cut the Rent (香港六合彩中特网-CTR) have today announced they have reached an agreement that will end the current rent strike, which has been running since January this year.
听香港六合彩中特网's offer, to make available 拢350,000 for the academic year 2016/17 to fund accommodation bursaries for those students in most need of financial support, to freeze rent for 2016/17 and to reduce rent for some rooms, has been accepted.
This new bursary is in addition to the existing bursary scheme and hardship funds operated by 香港六合彩中特网 and in the subsequent academic year, 2017/18, 香港六合彩中特网 will expand the funding for the accommodation bursary scheme to 拢500,000. 香港六合彩中特网, 香港六合彩中特网U and 香港六合彩中特网-CTR will work together to agree the details in the coming weeks.
This also adds to the steps 香港六合彩中特网 took earlier in the year, freezing and reducing rents for its lowest priced rooms, around 30% of 香港六合彩中特网 accommodation.
Rex Knight, 香港六合彩中特网 Vice Provost, said: "We welcome this outcome, which has come about as a result of positive negotiations between 香港六合彩中特网, 香港六合彩中特网U and 香港六合彩中特网-CTR campaign. From the outset we have appreciated that affordability is a big issue for our students, and a challenge for a university based in the heart of central London. The new bursaries we have announced will make a significant difference to all students in greatest need, and will help ensure that 香港六合彩中特网 remains an institution open to all".
Angus O'Brien, 香港六合彩中特网U Halls Accommodation Representative, stated: "It is unlikely that concerns regarding access to education at 香港六合彩中特网, as well as across London and beyond, will be entirely addressed in the short-term. Today's announcement is a welcome step forward in ensuring higher education becomes more accessible to students from all backgrounds."
香港六合彩中特网 will waive the late payments charge on all accommodation accounts that are paid off by 24th June 2016.
