University of Reading investigates security staff clash with students
Students tried to occupy building in support of striking staff but encountered ‘heavy-handed’ security officers
An investigation is under way at the University of Reading following a confrontation between security officers and students who attempted to occupy a building in support of staff taking strike action over pay, pensions and working conditions.
A 21-year-old undergraduate has been suspended and banned from campus pending enquiries, while a 25-year-old postgraduate has been banned from campus. The students claim security was “heavy-handed” and say two of their number suffered bruising to their legs.
More than 40,000 lecturers, technicians, librarians and other academic and support staff at 60 universities have been on strike for eight days and are due to return to work on Thursday with no sign of a breakthrough in the dispute.
About a million students have been affected by the action by members of the University and College Union (UCU) and many have come out in support of university staff with student occupations at institutions including Nottingham and Edinburgh.
Nine students attempted to occupy the International Capital Market Association building at Reading University on Sunday, in support not only of UCU strikes but also divestment from fossil fuels and the arms industry. At one point the students claim they were “pushed back by a picked-up table and chased by security”.
A Reading University spokesman refused to comment on individual student disciplinary issues. “The safety and welfare of our students and staff is our number one priority, and in all incidents we review all available evidence to guide us in making appropriate decisions.”
Letters from the deputy vice-chancellor accuse the students of assaulting a member of security staff but Oliver Kent, the postgraduate banned from campus said security staff were “heavy handed”.
“I’ve just finished my master’s and won’t be able to attend my graduation ceremony on 12 December,” he said. Undergraduate Dorian McHale, meanwhile, faces a serious conduct investigation which could result in permanent removal from the university.
A UCU spokesperson said: “We are disappointed to learn that a student has apparently been suspended at this stage. Staff and students have the right to protest peacefully and the university should be listening to those concerns rather than suspending people without due process.”
Though this round of strikes by university staff ended on Wednesday, industrial action continues indefinitely with action short of a strike, including staff working strictly to contract, and the UCU has warned of potential further strikes in the new year if employers fail to make improved offers.
Reballoting began at 12 more institutions on Wednesday which could result in thousands more university staff taking part in industrial action next year. Among the 12 universities being reballoted are Imperial College London, University of the West of Scotland, Falmouth, Surrey, Northumbria, Worcester, Kent and Leeds Beckett.
There are two strands to the UCU dispute. The first is over the universities superannuation scheme (USS), which was the source of a 14-day strike last year, and the second is about pay, workload, pay equality and casualisation.
On the USS dispute, UCU members meet on Friday to discuss next steps, while a second report from the joint expert panel (JEP), set up to investigate the USS valuation after last year’s strikes, is due to publish soon.
USS employers said the JEP report should be the springboard to stepping up discussions. “We are calling on the union to work constructively with employers to deliver positive long-term changes to the USS scheme,” a spokesperson said.
On pay and equalities, the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) is due to report back to the UCU following consultations with universities.
UCU general secretary, Jo Grady, said: “The phenomenal support for the strikes by thousands of university staff on chilly picket lines over the last eight days has sent a strong message to vice-chancellors that we won’t just let them dismiss our concerns.”

Sur les campus, les nouvelles stratégies des marques pour cibler les étudiants
Des entreprises qui souhaitent communiquer auprès des étudiants capitalisent sur les nouveaux usages des réseaux sociaux. Des structures spécialisées et des « étudiants ambassadeurs » leur servent de relais.
C’est l’heure du déjeuner sur le campus Parodi, bâtiment qui regroupe plusieurs écoles du groupe IGS, dans le 10e arrondissement de Paris. Les étudiants convergent vers le hall, qui fait aussi office d’espace cafétéria. Le moment est stratégique pour la société d’assurances voyage qui a positionné son stand juste devant les sorties d’amphis. Pour attirer les étudiants, elle leur propose de gagner une dizaine de billets d’avion à destination de villes européennes grâce à un « jeu concours ».
Pauline, 18 ans, s’approche du stand et participe au tirage au sort. « Vu que j’ai donné mon adresse électronique, je sais que je vais recevoir des e-mails de pub. Mais c’est le principe, et au pire je les mettrai dans mes spams », explique-t-elle. A côté d’elle, quelques sucreries et sodas posés sur une petite table. Un peu plus loin, un cadre à selfies attire des plaisantins dont les portraits seront publiés sur les réseaux sociaux. D’autres testent une « balance board », un jeu d’équilibre sur une planche, apporté par la marque.
Ce n’est pas un hasard si cette entreprise a choisi le mois de novembre pour proposer ses assurances internationales, en pleine préparation des futurs voyages. « Sur les 6 000 étudiants du campus, 3 000 vont partir à l’étranger au second semestre dans le cadre de leur scolarité », résume Marine, étudiante de 21 ans, membre du bureau des arts, association étudiante du groupe IGS. C’est elle qui a facilité cette opération de promotion, montée avec l’accord tacite de la direction de l’école. Le mois dernier, elle avait fait venir une entreprise de sodas qui avait proposé un jeu de devinettes sur les boissons sans sucre.
« On cherche toujours à trouver des bons plans pour les étudiants », justifie la jeune femme. Elle assure n’avoir perçu « aucune rémunération » pour l’opération « billets d’avion » de l’assureur. Le « deal » a été rendu possible par l’intermédiaire de Groupe Campus, une agence spécialisée dans le marketing étudiant, qui propose aux marques de se faire connaître dans les écoles et les universités. « C’est très intéressant de travailler avec des jeunes gens aussi professionnels », glisse Valérie Fighiera, chargée des partenariats dans cette strucrure qui a tissé des liens avec des associations étudiantes dans 500 établissements.
Cible des entreprises numériques
Pour les marques, pas de doutes : les étudiants sont des consommateurs de demain. En 2019, ils sont plus de 2,7 millions inscrits dans l’enseignement supérieur en France. « Même si l’on peut qualifier cette cible de “paupérisée”, elle reste très prisée. On va chercher le consommateur au moment où il se forme. Quand on lui parle tôt, on peut créer de la loyauté », déclare sans complexe Lionel Sadoun, fondateur de Teewii, société spécialisée dans le marketing étudiant.
