The last concern I have is this proposed consolidation where about 1200 UK employees are going to be moved to, I guess a non profit or another entity. Many of them are union employees. And there's a real concern that they will lose a lot of their rights as public employees or as union employees. And I think especially a higher education institution ought to be looking out for the people that work for them. (52:22–52:33)
