Default University of Manchester students vote of no confidence in Boss

[Students at the University of Manchester have
passed a vote of no confidence in its vice-chancellor.
Dame Nancy Rothwell faced opposition
over the university's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
About 89% of the students who took part
in the non-binding vote agreed the
student body had "no confidence" in
the vice-chancellor and other leaders.
The university said the vote had a
13% turnout and said it had
"full confidence" in Dame Nancy.
A spokesperson for the student-led campaign
group said the positions of the vice-chancellor
and her team had become "completely untenable".
"It's apparent to anyone that the
mistreatment of students and mishandling
of the pandemic by the university
over the past year has become an
exemplar of how not to
run a university," they said.

University and College Union (UCU)
general secretary Jo Grady said the
"overwhelming vote" was "no surprise" and
said Dame Nancy had treated
students "shamefully."

"She irresponsibly brought students
back to campus to secure income
from fees and rent and then locked them
in their accommodation," she said.
