A follow-up to our tweet, the recommendations from the Russell Group SUs & UKCISA report about the international student experience contain significant gaps. A failure of this report is not confronting the #HostileEnvironment policy affecting migrant students. We unpack why this matters. 🧵

The image is divided into two sections. The top section features a pink background with bold black text. Below it is an image of a group of five people sitting on indoor steps, casually interacting with each other. They appear to be students, with a mix of genders, ethnicities, and attire; some are holding notebooks or electronic devices. The background includes a modern interior with a balcony and glass windows. The lower part is a dark blue area with white text, beneath which are logos for "Russell Group Students' Unions" and "UKCISA." In the bottom right corner, there is an illustration of a graduate with a megaphone, next to the words "UNIS RESIST BORDER CONTROLS."

The Russell Group SUs' report on migrant students affirms much of what we've been saying for 9 years. Read the study here: qrplanet.com/ybz0fr?ref These series of tweets, we unpack the report. But the report could have gone father. Watch for our 2nd part on this study. 🧵

The image has a lavender background with centered black text at the top providing information about a report by the Russell Group Students’ Union (RGSU). It discusses the challenges faced by migrant students due to policies and educational structures. Below the text, a large black arrow pointing to the left contains the white text "We unpack this report." In the bottom right corner, a logo with a pattern of chain links, a book, and a graduation cap is accompanied by the text "UNIS RESIST BORDER CONTROLS."

We support migrant students globally who work to end carceral policies. That's why we affirm Momodou Taal & his important fight against unjust ICE detention & his mission to ensure the civil liberties for all US students. We've donated, please do the same. 🔽 chuffed.org/project/1258...

Earlier today we joined Palestine solidarity activists in a protest organised by City Action for Palestine. This protest was called after an anti-Palestine, anti-migrant poster was found in the men's toilets at City, University of London. More on that here: www.instagram.com/p/DGVgIgZIrJ... 🧵

The image shows a hand holding a stack of leaflets in the foreground, with banners displayed in the background. The leaflets are titled "BORDERS KILL KNOWLEDGE" and contain printed text about resisting border controls in universities. In the background, there is a large banner featuring the Palestinian flag colors — red, black, white, and green. Beside it, another banner reads "ISRAELI APARTHEID CAMPUS" with similar flag colors. The setting appears to be an outdoor area with a partially visible building and some trees.

Bizarre statement @ucu.org.uk. For 6️⃣ years you refused to work with us to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK HE. As this policy extend to other areas, instead, you capitulate to the very neoliberal, marketised dynamics that harms migrant students & all staff alike. 🧵
