Excellent work from @GoldstoneRoss ⬇️

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Clearly, trying to remedy an initial £20m black hole caused by marketisation, with increased marketisation, has proven not to work. Universities must undertake a structural shift in order to prevent further staff and students losing out. @cardiffstrike https://t.co/SVnyOuA2rO
