On the 27th Sept I will be leaving UOB through VR, I nevertheless care about my colleagues still fighting to keep their jobs! #solidarity to my #BrightonUniverairy colleagues that’s all I have got left!
OCCUPATION UPDATE: Heras fencing is gone and has been replaced with wooden boards. A new low from our SMT in their treatment of students. Solidarity to our occupiers ✊✊
OCCUPATION UPDATE: peaceful protesters were fenced into Pavillion Parade yesterday. Once again this is a disgusting way to act towards students. Solidarity to our legendary occupiers ✊

7 out of 16 centres of research excellence @uniofbrighton to be slashed in further cuts to research-rich culture- what is higher education here now???#savebrightonuni
Sack research active teaching staff, and then ask a colleague in another subject area to teach a 19th second year Literature course - he says thats ok because he last read some of those texts on his undergraduate degree .... shame on you @uniofbrighton - ? High quality HE
@uniofbrighton@guardian Much of what makes Brighton great is its staff and unique teaching. Plus you waited till the end of term, after the NSS to sack the staff, because you knew it would otherwise impact your ratings.
Interesting.
The @uniofbrighton say initially they believed they could sack over 100 staff without impacting PGRs at all.
How incompetent do you have to be to say this? Most likely lying from the start and just didn't care.

The peopl @uniofbrighton are slinging out have names, faces, families, and bills. They all also, it is increasingly clear, have made significant contributions to their field. They would be an asset to any university that took itself seriousl.
