They need to close Coleraine campus and divorce Magee from the UU umbrella, have it be it’s own independent University.
Those in charge of UU don’t give a fuck about the place.

Hargan moans on about this. (One of the few that is). But Antrim and Down alone have around 1.5 million people.
Londonderry has less than 100k. It’s a small city, a nice city but small and doesn’t have the economic pull of Belfast. A university won’t change that overnight.
With more students, doesn’t mean more investment or development. It means more student Accommodation and less for people actually able to live in these places.
There is a H.E “Clerisy” out there that loves to glorify Uni. But it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.
If you have a problem with the funding, ask Sinn Fein!
