We, your students’ union at AUSA, have signed a open letter that has been circulated amongst Scotland’s student leaders. This letter calls on Turnitin to abandon this proposal and engage directly with students and their elected representatives. We hear you, and we appreciate you voicing your concerns and contacting us about this important issue. We will continue to advocate for you on behalf of this issue as it evolves. If you have any further comments or concerns please contact the VP of Education or VP of Welfare.

For the full joint statement with the University, you can find it on our Students' Union Website.

Kaitlin, Courage, Hannah, Olivia, Mitalee.
