More than half of Cambridge's final-year students will not graduate this summer due to a boycott, the university warns.
The university's acting vice-chancellor, Dr. Anthony Freeling, sent a letter to academics asking them to prioritize thousands of students who could lose their jobs and visas, The Telegraph reports.

Academics are participating in a national boycott led by the University Colleges Union (UCU), a university staff body, which has rejected a proposed 5-8 percent pay increase.

Cambridge students will suffer most as members of the university's governing body voted against a proposal that would allow some students to graduate without full grades.

International students hoping to stay in the UK for a post-study graduate visa will face additional costs, Anthony Freeling warned.
According to university estimates, minimum 400 international students are at risk of losing the opportunity to work in the UK.
