Omg free speech in this country is a complete fiction now

[Robert Peston @Peston]

This is not a great look for the party of free speech. I’ve seen heckling in my time and I am not sure this meets the threshold

One more valued colleague leaving @uniofbrighton through this dreadful set of redundancies - who is going to stop this exodus and what kind of university will be left?#savebrightonuniversity

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 ✊✊

[PGRs Brighton @pgrs_brighton]

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

[Brighton Uni English @Uni_English]

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

[Brighton Uni English @Uni_English]

Indeed please enquire @guardian why @uniofbrighton are sacking 22 staff with excellent research and teaching records!!

[Josh @MuseumCritical]

@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.

[PGRs Brighton @pgrs_brighton]

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.

Another colleague in our area faced with unconscionable sacking - reverse these inequities @uniofbrighton

[Brighton UCU @BrightonUCU]

@uniofbrighton @PrixPictet @ProfRJaspal Meet Jelena. Worked here for 23 years, been a Deputy Head of School, launched some of the best Linguistics and Language courses in the UK.

Our VC wants to make Jelena redundant.

Hands off! The uni is shut until every job is safe! #SaveBrightonUni|#BoycottBrightonUni|#ucuRISING

[Brighton Uni English @Uni_English]

Shame on you @uniofbrighton

[Uni of Brighton Exiles #uobsolidarity @brightonexiles]

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.
