#LetDianeStay - Diane Pennington update

 

Hi everyone, 

I think you are all aware of Diane Pennington’s ongoing situation and we wanted to let you know if you would like to help, that there is a letter addressed to the Home Office regarding her case. The deadline for signing is Thursday 15 April. The letter has already been signed by 166 students, academics and university staff:

#LetDianeStay: Support a Migrant Academic's Fight Against the Hostile Environment Policy (google.com) 

For those of you who would like to consider making a donation (neither she nor her husband are allowed to work so are currently left without any income), a GoFundMe page was set up here:

Fundraiser by Unis Resist Border Controls : Support Diane's Fight to Remain in the UK (gofundme.com) 

It is very upsetting to see Diane not be able to teach her students, carry out her research, continue contributing to the LIS field and losing her livelihood. She is invaluable to the information profession in the UK and it’s terrible she has to go through this. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 Thank you very much,
