Eveey lecture seems to start with a rant about the pens - are there any in the room, are they working etc etc. Rather than leave pens in the room could each lecturer be issued with a set of pens?

Hi,
Thank you for this submission!
Whilst it may be frustrating for lecturers to sometimes not have a pen, it is typically expected for them to possess a writing utensil of this sort. Unfortunately, if every lecturer was to be issued a set of pens, it would be quite an unsustainable approach as many already have these items. I will however, flag this with relevant members of University staff that this is a concern and see if they are able to offer an alternative solution like better communications to academic staff about pens.
I am going to close this submission now. If you have any further questions, please feel free to make another submission, or email my successor, Ed Brooker, directly at president@soton.ac.uk
All the best,
