University lecturers are posting 'demoralising' images of their empty classrooms and and slamming students for failing to turn up to their seminars.

Disheartened teachers who have been stood up by their students are blaming the 'pandemic hangover' of uploading lectures and resources online - allowing them to stay at home.

Lecturers also suggested more undergrads are unable to attend due to being forced to take on jobs amid a cost-of-living crisis.

Dr Peter Olusoga, a psychology lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, posted pictures of empty classrooms alongside the caption: 'Dearest Students, I don't want to hear a single word of complaint from you EVER, about ANYTHING.'

Dr Olusoga said it is 'genuinely demoralising' when none of his students attend his lectures, but added it is 'important to ask why this is happening'.
