Critics question timing of university’s Thunberg statue

The university was criticised for the timing of the big reveal, with opponents believing that it should have been postponed after years of austerity. The university had commissioned the £23,760 bronze of Thunberg in 2019 but has since had to make cuts to staff numbers and university services due to the impact of the pandemic.
Last week, Students’ Union President Megan Ball told
Sky News that it has urged the university to pause the unveiling. “Students are angry and frustrated, we should have the opportunity to see how their money is being spent,” Ball said.
