Account for boycott of universities taking punitive positions on ASOS during #ucustrikes - on pause at present

[academicboycott @academicboycot1]

UPDATE: Half of the institutions that planned punitive deductions for action short of a strike have retracted these threats and revised their positions. Great work! Let's keep up the pressure on those institutions who haven't: https://t.co/nkdhjqLnzX

🚨🚨🚨 UPDATE on latest USS scandal: after The Pensions Regulator corrected USS's false claims about its views on risk, USS didn't just cover it up. They repeated the claims in public! 😮😮😮

Trust in #USS and @UniversitiesUK has collapsed. Watch our video #aesthetic 👇👇👇

"Opening up the USS Joint Expert Panel", by @felicitycallard, explains why we're putting pressure on the JEP to 'Open Up!' and reflects on the 7 people making up the #JEP https://t.co/j9XXYJdTqT #USSbriefs25

We at @USSbriefs HQ have spent lots of weekends & evenings getting our first briefs ready for OpenUPP. Our efforts to Open Up the #USS Joint Expert Panel start for real today, as we challenge the epistemic landscape of #USS #pensions dispute https://t.co/3Jpwz8zaMv #USSstrike 1/

Please follow @USSbriefs if you’re interested in the #ussstrike. A group of us has put together a collection of short briefing docs which we will launch soon. They cover the story of the strike, the claims around a deficit, the upcoming vote and how we’ve succeeded so far.

Great news that @CityUniLondon has changed position on ASOS. Universities remaining on the academic boycott list are looking increasingly isolated.

[academicboycott @academicboycot1]

@claire_marris @ucuedinburgh @USSstrike Yeh they’re both aiming at the same thing. But that’s fine. 😀 more voices is a good thing.

I have resigned as external examiner for MSc Cognitive Neuroscience at @SussexUni in support of @ucu. With much regret as I have enjoyed working with the excellent academic and professional services staff there #USSstrike #USSresigned #ucustrike

Shocking behaviour from Coventry University @academicboycot1 https://t.co/Iuh6mQJBj9

[academicboycott @academicboycot1]

The momentum on this dispute is with us. UUK continue to make the same claims which are demonstrably misleading. We continue to find new ways to bring about positive change for our future, and those that will come after. #USSstrike #UCUstrike @ucu https://t.co/yM7tBWyDng

Well over 100 responses now on the list of external examiners resigning their positions at #UCUstrike institutions. Keep resigning and signing to keep up the pressure on employers to push UUK to make a fair offer. https://t.co/14TiA4S9yt

[Martin O'Neill @martin_oneill]

A report via @felicitycallard of a meeting held between Jane Hutton & Saul Jacka with Bill Galvin and others from #USS. Extremely damning on #USS “circular reasoning” and lack of transparency.

Here's a new page on the academic boycott website, to collect materials related to the external examiner resignations list: https://t.co/hdWts3LHLy #ussstrike #ucustrike. Also to help inform students, and for those who are a bit Google docs phobic!
