Subject: Entering mediation with protest encampment
Since it emerged on May 13, the University has continually sought to seek an amicable and peaceful end to the protest encampment on the Grad House Green.
As part of our ongoing commitment to continue productive and respectful dialogue, we are pleased that we have an agreement to start confidential discussions with members of the encampment facilitated by a mediator.
As the process is confidential, the University will only provide further updates that are agreed upon between both parties.
