"Are you happy with three lots of nothing?

If you do not vote it is an endorsement of this abysmal status quo.

If you believe you deserve more than there is only one option!"

‼️NEW: Universities have tried to axe over 15,000 staff this year.

Yet the vice-chancellors responsible are paying themselves more than ever before.

We’re balloting to save higher education.

Our GS @DrJoGrady broke the story on @BBCRadio4 this morning👇

[Bournemouth Uni UCU @UCUBU]

High time we get that student number control in place. All out for the ballot

[UCU @ucu]

Universities are under attack. By defending ourselves, we are defending the whole sector.

Vote YES.

#WeAreTheUniversity

[UCU @ucu]

Between them, politicians and employers are destroying our great higher education sector.

We won't sit back and let it happen.

[UCU @ucu]

An important intervention from @JessicaToale on the cuts proposed at Bournemouth University.

We welcome this support and urge university management to engage meaningfully with staff and students.

Cuts to jobs and courses hurt local communities, there is another way. @UCUBU

[Bruce E. Baker @BruceHistorian]

Careers of brilliant & dedicated academics are being ended up and down the country, but for tthe failed leaders who destroy universities, there's always another sinecure down the road. Good work if you can get it, I suppose.

[Bournemouth Arch & Anth @BU_ArchAnth]

It is with tremendous sadness that we share the news that our colleague and friend Professor Timothy Darvill has passed away who had been diagnosed with cancer only a few months ago.

[RMT @RMTunion]

“It’s not hate, it’s not division.
We don’t want to be storming people’s hotels where they’re trying to get respite, we want to be encouraging those people into our communities and making them feel part of it.”

Our demands are simple:

- a 10%/£3000 pay rise
- parity with schoolteacher pay in 3 years
- a minimum starting salary of £30k

The new government must put FE at the heart of its plans.

Agree (for once)

Make sure to look at the UCU account/ blog of the university you are applying to. This will indicate what your learning conditions will be like.

Also, have a look to see if @UniversitiesUK members are sacking many of the staff who will teach & support you…
