Issues
It has been decided that new students will not automatically be enrolled into MFA for Office 365. How this will impact comms has tp be clarified in early August.
There is a threat of strike action during Welcome Week. This is noted in the project risk log Impact of Strike Action during Welcome Week. If strike action is widespread we may not be in a position to fully implement our welcome week plans. A decision by Unison will be made in July, when the outcome is known contingency plans will be drawn up by the project manager.
