We have started a petition to show how strongly we feel about our staff members. This is the end of literature at Portsmouth if this goes ahead. https://t.co/yJVncx7Htu

And he did all this while refusing to meet my eye (as much as an be done via a laptop camera). Top management skills.

Yes, I’m still cross about the fact that I had to take time out of other pressing work for that pointless and insulting conversation.

[Rosie Paice 🇺🇦 @Rosie_Paice]

Yesterday my line manager mansplained to me the importance of taking time out from work to relax, while simultaneously refusing to engage with the root cause of my stress: the uni’s plans to make 8 out of 13 people in my team redundant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So #Frankenstein is the no.4 trend across the whole UK at the moment, but University of Portsmouth higher management insist there's no widespread interest in English literature. 🤔🤔 #NationalTheatreatHome

Look what I got today! I know probably loads of people get these, but I still feel chuffed. And, yes, of course I downloaded the certificate! 😂 #Milton @UOP_EngLit @PortsEngLitSoc

If you're currently stuck at home and have some extra time on your hands, why not earn a qualification to improve your employability? Portsmouth College are offering a range of free, online courses https://t.co/HnclHprQGJ @PortsmouthColl

The @WHO told us to “test, test, test” yet the government has admitted that just 2,000 of half a million frontline NHS staff have been tested to date. The Prime Minister must now urgently publish a clear national testing strategy to protect those working tirelessly on frontline

Sorry, I mistakenly referred to the Circle of Research Combat earlier, when of course this was renamed in 2017 as the Academic Research Combat Hub (ARCH). Apologies.

The 'core business' of these well-paid 'leaders' is to 'market' the university carefully & not bring it into disrepute

[Jennifer Cooke @jenniferacooke.bsky.social @JenniferACooke]

Portsmouth Uni still pursuing redundancies even during #Covid_19 is heartless. Perhaps @BBCr4today might cover this story?

[Dr Joanne Knowles 🇺🇦 @JoanneKnowlesUK]

Can't understand why @portsmouthuni would prioritise something like this at a time when staff will be working hard under pressure to support students. Baffling. @PortsmouthUcu @SaveUoPLit #Covid_19

[Heriot-Watt UCU @UCU_HWUBranch]

Shame on @portsmouthuni - how can meaningful consultation occur in such times?

[Kate Chedgzoy @KateChedgzoy]

Shocked to hear that while @UOP_EngLit colleagues are working flat-out in a time of crisis to support students, @portsmouthuni refuses to extend their deadline to make the case against massive cuts @SaveUoPLit

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

Signed copies of Margaret Atwood's The Testaments, Becoming by @MichelleObama and Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman are all up for grabs in our charity auction. Some amazing reads and priceless collectibles for all you book lovers! https://t.co/CHCYPbwMJa

also this is an advert i’m not meant to be seeing, as according to those in meetings, you don’t see the adverts if you’re already at uni, and this is why we aren’t seeing advertising for EL... #SaveUoPLit

[✨Jenni (Taylor's Version)✨ @not_your_h0ney]

how can i get career ready if my course has detrimental cuts limiting the scope of teaching i need for my career?? #SaveUoPLit
