And my VC tells @OUstudents this week 'the people who work here should be bloody well teaching. They should be teaching directly - it's ridiculous they're spoken about as teaching when they're writing - that's not teaching' 14/n

This week dozens of lecturers crossed picket lines, saying they supported the strike but weren't protected by a union and so feared for their jobs. There's an easy solution: join UCU. https://t.co/tqy0R789Br #ucustrike

@jasonhickel Well put Jason!

Paraphrasing Clive Barnett, ‘the quality of the education provided by a University is not a function of the shininess of its buildings, but the degree of investment and respect extended to academic staff’.
