I salute a brave and principled trade unionist whose example should guide us in our forthcoming struggles. She cared for Middlesex and wanted the best for all concerned. She knew that secure and confident staff was key to student success. We agreed that the glib slogan `putting students first' being bandied about was lopsided because the university was a learning community for ALL and that our voices needed to be heard. She was in the forefront challenging the preposterously named `People Programme', winning hearts and minds all along. I have the honour of having observed the best attended union meeting in my 38 years at MDX which passed an overwhelming vote of `no confidence' in the previous VC.The struggle continues.
