RT Anamika: KENT DISSENTS WITH THE MARKETISATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION #EducationForAll #ReclaimKent #ReclaimHE University of Kent Student Solidarity - Let's take what's ours! #ucu #ucu strike #ussstrike
Colleagues from SOAS UNISON have been key in putting this together. A quick way to fight for our education - you can email your MP with one click! Please join in, we need to #ReclaimHE and #SaveOurUnis
When I see some uni decisions/plans during Covid-19... #NoSOASwithoutUs #ReclaimHE #SaveOurUnis
Precarious is: when you’re afraid of the consequences of speaking out. #reclaimHE #UCU #precarity #solidarity x.com/ericroyallybec…
So apparently management doesn’t like it when staff put precaricat flyers on their office doors. Well, we’ll just keep putting them up each time they take them down. #solidarity #reclaimHE #reclaimouruniversity Uni of Kent UCU
This is the value many in GOV.UK see in education at all levels - a revolutionary project of Woke-ness that is doomed to fail. That's why we need to keep pressuring them to #SaveOurUnis . Time to #ReclaimHE
IMPORTANT OPEN LETTER! Time to #ReclaimHE and decasualise education. In the middle of everything that is happening, #BlackLivesMatter also means to value black academia. We know black and young staff are disproportionally affected by casualisation. Step up and fight back UCU!
It is excellent that @UCU has launched the #ReclaimHE initiative. It is essential that this campaign develops and flourishes in the months ahead.
But that requires two things.

The #COVID19 crisis has proved how flawed the current HE system is. Decades of marketisation has weakened our structures so much that it is difficult to survive to any crisis. Time to #ReclaimHE and lobby GOV.UK into doing the necessary. Department for Education needs to invest & support!
How charming!
The VC pitting staff against students, by blaming staff for taking strike action 🙄.
In case he hadn’t noticed students occupied buildings and picketed alongside us. Staff conditions are student conditions !

#StudentSafetyNet by NUS UK is essential in these times. No university or institution should be left alone in supporting its students (and staff!) during this pandemic. GOV.UK needs to step up and Department for Education support the HE sector appropriately. It is time to #ReclaimHE
We're having a launch party next week! If you're in or around Canterbury, come and join us at the picnic. Get informed, get involved, show solidarity. #precarity #USSstrike #reclaimHE #InternationalWorkersDay UCU Left SOAS UCU UCU Anti-Casualisation Committee Durham Casuals UCL-UCU Stop the Destruction of Higher Education Sussex UCU
Announcement: Success for Precarious@UniKent! It's a great start of the academic year for us! precariousuni.wordpress.com/2018/10/02/ann… #UCU #solidarity #reclaimHE
Possibly just Twitter rumours, but the word is that Universities UK and *some* VCs saw the pensions issue as a way to break the union. We've shown that we are loud, proud and ain't going anywhere! #reclaimHE #reclaimuniversities
So folks - what do you really want an umbrella body representing our unis to look like?
(Recap: we’ve seen dodgy consultations, PR, revolving doors, lip service to equalities, marketisation + events for sr mgmt to hobnob with vultures who prey on HE)
