Solidarity to staff at @GoldsmithsUCU who have been locked out of their university accounts less than a working day after being effectively forced to sign a redundancy package. Shame on the Goldsmiths SMT! @GoldsmithsUoL @FCorner @tomsleigh @DrJoGrady @uculincoln

[Mojdeh Stoakley @TheMojdeh]

When Senior Mgmt Team (SMT) of @GoldsmithsUoL unethically fires esteemed lecturers in one-of-a-kind departments like @BlackBritHistMA they like to pour salt into their wounds by making final pay & goodbyes to students difficult. #StandWithStaff @GoldsmithsUCU @Official_SATP

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

The last few days have been devastating. We want to extend solidarity to those 62 branch members who have been forced to take @goldsmithsuol meagre redundancy package. Your loss will be felt for a long time & Goldsmiths is poorer without you.

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

Dr @AbenaKJohn, convenor of @BlackBritHistMA, has not even been in post a full year & now faces redundancy along with the collapse of this vital course. @GoldsmithsUoL management Shame on you. https://t.co/a04HQn4TF4 Pls sign & amplify the petition: https://t.co/GcKEdfHQLy

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

@GoldsmithsUoL mgmt are not even bothering to 'fire & rehire.' They're asking staff provisionally selected for redundancy to apply for 'overflow' roles on smaller fractions & worse conditions with a turn around of <4 working days. This shoddy plan outrageously disregards workers.

[Des Freedman @lazebnic]

If your job cuts have made it to the front page of the Sunday Times, I’d suggest @GoldsmithsUoL that you need a new strategy. How about opening the books, sitting down properly with the unions, lobbying government to change a failed system & not sacking some of your best assets?

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

‘We cannot accept that new carpeting is more important to the college & students than teachers.’ Family members of ‘At Risk’ Staff appeal to Council to intervene to stop redundancies & stop management from destroying Goldsmiths' reputation that academics have earned.

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

Full solidarity to @JustinBengry and all staff impacted by the vandalism being enacted by @GoldsmithsUoL These redundancies are hitting some of the most important, unique and precarious spaces of learning and teaching in the world. Senior Management must stop now!

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

The union has provided evidence that cuts are neither justified nor necessary given that the university has already made substantial savings earlier in the year.

[Les Back @AcademicDiary]

My thoughts are with Goldsmiths colleagues this weekend who are waiting to find out who will receive redundancy notices on Monday. Please share - on why this matters to anyone who believes in the transformative power of education.

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

This week, management sent out 97 redundancy letters to academic staff across 11 departments as part of its ‘Transformation Programme’. We believe this will decimate staffing and programmes, such as the only MA Black British Literature course in the country.

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

“The MA Black British Literature should not be treated as a second-class citizen,” said Margaret Busby, Britain’s first Black female publisher. @guardian

A key justification for sacking 130+ staff @GoldsmithsUoL is that staff costs are way above the sector average that the College insists is 43% acc to HESA. Except that HESA says the average is 51%. Management wouldn't want to exaggerate would they? @goldsmithsucu #NotADoneDeal

[Dan Strutt @drdanstrutt]

As part of their so-called 'Transformation Programme', Goldsmiths’ senior managers want to cull 133 jobs. They have mismanaged the college and they want to use people's livelihoods to cover their tracks. There is no legitimate rationale for these cuts #NotADoneDeal @GoldsmithsUoL

[Emma Jackson @EmmakJackson]

Goldsmiths Management have come back to us after consultation and still plan to make many of us redundant- 133 people. But it is #notadonedeal. Ways to support us. 1. Make a noise! Join this mornings Twitterstorm 2. Donate here to the support fund https://t.co/YtCImWhm1x
