Students slam ‘juvenile’ row between WIT and lecturers over exam papers
Around 1,500 concerned students yesterday took their anger out in rallies at WIT’s two campuses, where their representatives called on both sides to sort things out.
Lecturers who are members of the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) voted last week to withhold results of first semester exams and assessments, due to have issued to students on Tuesday. They claim the college has breached agreed grievance procedures in its handling of complaints about payments for correcting exams, which have been halved to around €4 per paper.
