Cracking down on peaceful student protest is also, in fact, an act of educational vandalism. These are as much, if not more, vibrant spaces of education, dialogue, and learning as a classroom. We know this, they know this.

Minouche Shafik earned millions as LSE vice chancellor while keeping our members on precarious contracts.

Now at Columbia, she calls in the police to arrest her own students for peacefully protesting genocide.

We need to reclaim our universities from these shameful “leaders”

Staff in Goldsmiths College, UoL, were told yesterday their employer wanted to make 𝟭𝟯𝟬 academic FTE staff redundant (i.e. >130 staff, as many are part-time).

Our union @UCU thinks this could equal 𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 of all academic staff!

❤️Rush solidarity to Goldsmiths UCU!

Anyone who is paying attention to HE (including in HE) must realise that we are witnessing an employers' offensive against staff by triggering redundancies.

Reports are that VCs are picking figures e.g. 10% out of the air and demanding 'savings' = job cuts of that number.
