An increasingly prominent aspect of our universities’ annual student induction is the provision of Consent training across all our campuses. Ending Sexual Violence and Harassment (ESVH) is a significant priority for universities. Education and raising awareness in relation to positive behaviours and attitudes are key components of this overarching framework to end SVH in Irish universities. The core principle of the #UnmuteConsent campaign is to mobilise the student community to make a difference by speaking out, enhancing their knowledge about consent, and ultimately challenging and changing behaviours.  The #UnmuteConsent campaign also reinforces awareness and understanding of: 🔴 The personal supports, and reporting procedures that are available to students, 🔴 The role of the bystander in situations where inappropriate behaviour occurs, and  🔴The standards of behaviour that are expected of all university students Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eTU-yj7E Tony McMahon Technological Higher Education Association (THEA)

DCU joins call for a “step-change” in investment in higher education and research. Five organisations representing students, universities, business and academic research have joined forces to call on government and opposition parties to make a step-change in investment in higher education and research. The call coincides with a pre-election hustings debate featuring representatives of all of the main political parties on the future funding of higher education held before a live audience at DCU today and streamed to an online audience. Opening the debate, DCU President Professor Daire Keogh said: “Universities have been the lifeblood of Ireland’s social and economic advance, and it is the quality of our graduates and research that are the bedrock of Ireland’s economic success… We are steadily losing our edge in a highly competitive landscape, where European neighbours have ramped up investment in their people, the ultimate renewable resource. “The Irish looked on as Brexit evolved, incredulous at the damage and self-harm that decision inflicted on our neighbours. A failure to invest in higher-education will be Ireland’s Brexit. As we face a general election, today is an opportunity for our would be legislators, representatives of all perspectives, how they would rescue Ireland from the ‘oven-ready’ disaster which will be the consequence of the underfunding of our peoples future.” Read more here: launch.dcu.ie/3BfvPjR #InvestInHigherEd #DublinCityUniversity Irish Universities Association British Irish Chamber of Commerce Union of Students Ireland Royal Irish Academy Technological Higher Education Association (THEA) DCU Alumni DCU Global DCU Business School DCU Faculty of Engineering and Computing DCU Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences DCU Faculty of Science and Health DCU Educational Trust DCU Research
