As stated and researched by people&planet through their 'Undoing Borders' campaign British Universities are maintaining a hostile environment towards migrant students and make it even more difficult than it already is to proceed into higher education and citizenship.

We therefore demand the following,in accordance with people&planet:
1. Abertay University has to classify applicants with temporary immigration status as ‘home’ students for fee purposes, and to provide them with bursaries and administrative support. We are demanding that universities remove any additional academic and financial requirements for international applicants put in place to minimise visa rejection figures.

2. Abertay University has to remove all measures of monitoring that infringe on legislation protecting human rights, civil liberties and equality and to end sub-contracting of data-collection to private companies. We are demanding that training gives priority to these duties over compliance with the Home Office.

3. Abertay University has to take every precaution in order not to deliver students and staff into immigration detention, to support those who are detained or under threat of detention or deportation, and to intervene to ensure staff’s freedom of association.
