NEW: We are calling on the @ukhomeoffice & @SuellaBraverman to consider extenuating circumstances for the impact outstanding qualifications will have on international students.
We have done everything possible to get @UCEA1 back to the table for a quick resolution.

#MilanKundera, who passed away today, was one of those formative writers in my life. Sharing a thread of some of the most memorable lines from his works, that I've scribbled in notebooks over the years. 🧵
“In a culture that largely defines worthiness, sanity, and success in terms of how distant we are from our feelings, how far and fast we run away from our roots, how numb we are to the fluency of our bodies, daring to slow down . . .
We note the decision by @UCEA1 to suspend us after we reached a local arrangement to end the Marking and Assessment Boycott.
Our focus has always placed our students first and we remain convinced that this local arrangement was the correct and most appropriate course of action for our University and our students.

Was most surprised to receive an email from the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture wanting the script of Zwigato for their Permanent Core Collection. Only when stories are rooted in their own contexts, they transcend cultures & become part of world cinema. Happy!!
Just before today’s Bristo Square protest by our marvellous Edinburgh students calling to #SettleTheDispute, all staff received an e-mail from the VC welcoming @ucu talks with @ucea1. We’d like to provide a bit of context and some corrections. 🧵1/9
