It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

Britain’s universities are in freefall – and saving them will take more than funding | Gaby Hinsliff https://t.co/IpYMaTZBYr

Our quick response to @oxford_brookes VCG announcement re the cuts: Some damaging aspects of the cuts have been successfully resisted by affected staff and UCU working together. We have made progress but not as much as we feel necessary to remove the threat of action. 1/ 4

Our statement in response to @ignatius_sancho - once the university’s decisions re the end of the consultation period are communicated to all staff by Monday 29 Jan, we will be able to provide more detail. #stoptheSHAMcuts

Thank you to the Chancellor for his statement. It is good to see a clear statement of how government policy is harming HEIs. But we hope he will look again at the situation at OBU. 1/2

Starting a new adventure today. I'll be teaching *The Politics of Public Education* at a medium security prison. All thanks to the Boston College Prison Education Program--an amazing initiative that I'm honored to be part of.

Thanks to everyone who attended our last branch meeting of the year! What a mad 6 weeks. A very big THANK YOU to our negotiators. The campaign is escalating, with threats of industrial action and new information to share in the new year on the reasons for these cuts. 1/5
