[Laura @Bouri_D]

I have two masters degrees from top British unis, including one that won a prestigious award. I’ve lived here for years.

My visa is up in two years and I won’t qualify under these rules.

I feel sick to my stomach right now. After everything I’ve done, it’s still not enough.

NEW VID! “The idea of hegemony is not like a conspiracy theory … There is no guarantee that attempts to maintain hegemony will be successful” My second Keywords explainer video on the crucial concept of hegemony is out! Taster below, full video https://t.co/aKxTacEODz🧵(1/4)

@ucu Here is the extract from the latest Goldsmiths University annual report that shows that the Warden picked up a huge £246,000 - that’ll do nicely #SE14 #PovertyPay

"We live with the insecurities which allow the university to maintain its financial flexibility – the least the university can do is pay us on time when we do our job."

Precarious staff @GoldsmithsUoL have had enough.

[Träger Warning 🇵🇸🇸🇩 ☭ @CleanersFor]

Indefinite strike has been announced by @ucu, so you can 100% expect to see responses like in this thread.

Don't let ppl get away with it, call it out.

Ask yourself, have these ppl done anything to support casual staff, students and international workers in non-strike time?

Tomorrow's picket schedule at @GoldsmithsUCU picket line... #UCUstrike #ucuRISING

[Akanksha Mehta @AjeebAurat]

Day one of #UCUstrike with @GoldsmithsUCU - big love to everyone who helped us run solidarity kitchen and bring together a picket community with food. The prep started early & the table kept growing 💜💜 #ucuRISING

TW: POLICE VIOLENCE
Today we were assaulted by campus police. Despite multiple pleas from students and opposition from several societies, yesterday we were informed that the zionist settler FoR UK event was taking place on campus at Scarman. (1/4)

[Gold Fees Strike // #ReinstateDesAndGholam @GoldFeesStrike]

Students in need or or wishing to accept their offer should 100% do so, but to be clear, if you have made a complaint you do not need to accept this offer now. It will be there for you later. (4/4)

[Gold Fees Strike // #ReinstateDesAndGholam @GoldFeesStrike]

College is emailing students to remind them of the deadline to accept their claim. Wording of said email doesn't mention complaints status, or that students will still be eligible for their award if their complaint is unsuccessful past the current deadline (1/4)

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

Enough is enough. We are calling for an Emergency Student Forum.

Join your sabbatical officers to discuss and take action on horrendous College failures from results and enrolment to compensations.

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

@ucu We're spoilt for choice! Biggest obscenity has to be #TaxiGate when "green warrior" @FCorner spent nearly £20k of College money on taxis in a space of 2 years. She then claimed her conscience was clear as she donates to eco charities 😂 https://t.co/134c20Mc3L

[Dr Fauzia Ahmad @brisofa]

New out of office:
'Thank you for your email. Please note, I have been made #redundant for the 3rd time in less than 5yrs by @GoldsmithsUoL. I am therefore unable to respond to student queries...'
Appeal submitted! With support of @GoldsmithsUCU #PermanentlyPrecarious #Precarity

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

Unbelievable! @brisofa was issued a permanent contract in Oct ‘21, explicitly citing continuous service, and without good reason, @GoldsmithsUoL has revoked her permanency.
This is a compulsory redundancy and goes against the deal we just signed with @GoldsmithsUoL
