Postgraduate Taught Access to PGR Study Room

In the middle of the term, the postgraduate taught students found themselves locked out of the postgraduate research study room in the new library. This should be an area of quiet research and study for ALL postgraduate students. If the university wants a sense of camaraderie between its postgraduate students -- who are operating at a more advanced pace than the undergraduates -- this is NOT how to go about it. Please petition the university to allow the postgraduate taught students access to a room they had been RESPECTFULLY using all term. At this level, we are all adults and should be treated as such.

Joel Short: 2:41pm on 14 Nov 17 If the college administration, for whatever reason, is unwilling to provide Taught students access to the Research room, then they should provide a dedicated space for Taught students in the renovation of Founders Library into study spaces. At present, taught students, who themselves are required to do an awful lot of research, and many of whom commute hours each day to be on campus as their courses require, find themselves without a space to work that is reliably quiet and free.
