Cross-union statement from @UCUSOAS @SOASUNISON @soassu on @SOAS Director Adam Habib. We stand in solidarity with Black students at SOAS who had to witness Habib’s behaviour and organised to condemn this unacceptable act of antiblack racism https://t.co/CQLRBB4ero

A serious problem that is being overlooked by institutions that simply treat students as cash cows and do not care about their welfare. Come on, we are surely better than this #SaveOurUnis

[#SaveUEL @saveUEL]

QUIZ: Despite warnings, Govt allows students on campus. COVID spreads like wildfire; students are imprisoned in halls. Govt then says teaching must be online. Unis are faced with the burden of redressing this catastrophe. Who is to blame? 🤔 Answers on a postcard to BoJo

[SaveOurUnis @SaveOurUnis]

Universities across the country have made thousands of staff redundant. Now they are asking those remaining to volunteer in call centres to deal with the havoc caused by allowing students back on campus? #SaveOurUnis

#fireandrehire is taking hold across our workplaces, bringing insecurity and misery to working people. Help us to get it outlawed.

Write to your MP asking them to help persuade the government to make it illegal 🔽

UKHE is in the midst of the greatest crisis of my lifetime. It is not hyperbole to state that the wellbeing and lives of millions is at stake. Don’t rely on others to do the right thing. Speak out and fight. One day you will have to justify your actions.

[RüyaTamirleri @SoysalOzlu]

Dispell the illusion that UK unis are public! It is misleading. If an institution sells shares to private investors, takes loans from the private sector who then dictate its spending, if it operates private companies (e.g. temp agencies, accomodations), takes fees from students+

@Bob_Arrow Yet another example of our broken education system and the need for proper government funding in the HE sector.

@zarahsultana Could not agree more! Would you consider signing EDM #743 to fund universities? #SaveOurUnis https://t.co/wYzlXtELty

Burnout should not be normalised for anyone. Important piece here on burnout in academia ⬇️ though please remember in HE academic related + professional staff (@UCU_ARPS) + support staff are also under enormous pressure too. Burnout is very real across all staff groups.

Truth

[Reading BTL @BtlReading]

When academic staff are made redundant during Phase 2 of the University’s COVID19 Response Programme, the policy permits use of their recordings to replace teaching. Vote NO in the ballot to send a strong signal that we will not take Phase 2 lying down.
