Yes, @durham_uni literally saying a lower % of income spent on staff is better. Our employer's committed to a weird project of profit-maximising in a non-profit, at the expense of the people (staff/students) who are the uni & they claim to serve. Join & participate in your union

Honestly, I would happily read an essay on how 'moral' has been used by UK HE leaders in the current dispute. It is 'morally wrong' to withdraw marks from students, but morally right - indeed a moral imperative - to withdraw 50% of salary for months on end. 1/2
