Question
What discussions has the Cabinet Secretary had with Cardiff University about the current restrictions on students protesting on campus?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Further and Higher Education
Universities are autonomous institutions, and Medr is the body responsible for the funding and regulation of tertiary education in Wales. Medr is in regular contact with Cardiff University on sector-wide matters. We support the right to lawful, peaceful and respectful protest, while ensuring that students and staff can learn and work free from harassment and disruption.
