[Univ Sunderland UCU - Solidarity With All Strikers @SunderlandUCU]

At a well attended branch meeting today, UCU members at Sunderland University voted unanimously to oppose subject and programme closures (including history, politics & MFL) - as well as the university’s move towards narrow vocationalism @ucu @UCUNorthern @ucunewcastle @UCUTeesUni

@HildaPalmer @SolGamsu @Wiglet1981 Ha ha yes. But this is also a really serious point, one I've been trying to make against the 'defence of public uni' type critiques: the tories DO have a vision of socially useful HE: training elites at some unis and churning out human capital and R&D at the rest

"ask first: who are universities for? Then take your answer and build a system that fits the lives of those you wish to include."

Excellent advice from @Wiglet1981

[Monthly Review @monthly_review]

David Ridley: Socialists "should not limit themselves to nationalising economically inefficient companies…subject to ‘market failure’ such as energy… & healthcare, but…aim public ownership at the ‘commanding heights’ of the economy." @HEmarketisation

Worth revisiting this @D_B_Ridley @RedPeppermag piece as @unitetheunion ballots open

"The refusal to raise the pay of university staff, or to reduce the reliance on precarious contracts, are both symptoms of the corporatisation of universities..."

Lets extend this debate to consider what should be done to include wider diverse participation, including the future role of FE institutions and community related curriculum to support active citizenship @LivingPolly

[Worker-Climate Project @WorkerClimate]

Fantastic to see @DrJoGrady from the @ucu calling for workers to join the climate strikes in September and back a #GreenNewDeal

Workers must to be at the centre of a just transition to a zero carbon economy ✊🌹
