@SkyHelpTeam how do I get hold of a person? This transition from BT which was supposed to happen yesterday isn’t working — on so many levels. Could I speak to someone please?
NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.
American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀
Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
Our Conscious Energy Research Team, part of the Low Voltage Living project is at New Scientist Live, at the ExCel centre in London, this weekend — working together with colleagues from Edinburgh Earth Initiative and School of Chemistry, talking about our Energy Futures: Stand H4!
There’s still time to apply for this amazing KTP opportunity with myself @eca_edinburgh, @EdinInnovations at Uni Edinburgh and @CitAdviceScot - a chance to make real change and empower people, through design
In May, the VP at @EdinburghUni told the Today programme that our “work WILL be marked”. It hasn’t.
My graduation is in 2 weeks. I literally don’t have a degree - and have no idea when I will.
This is industrial-scale gaslighting and lying. Resignations must now be considered.
will the media let us speak? I just appeared on @TimesRadio with presenter @MattChorley. he created a narrative that I am a poor student upset by the work of the @ucu, THAT IS NOT THE CASE! the fault is with @UCEA1 and the universities! stop silencing students! #markingboycott
I cannot fit the full length of the email I have written to Peter Mathieson, principal of @EdinburghUni
I have an indefinite deferred decision, all because the university is not willing to support its staff, it should never have come to this @ucu@ucuedinburgh#markingboycott
And there we FINALLY have it! I’ll be walking across the graduation stage with an empty piece of paper. No result.
If any VC or government minister ever tells you they care about students again, please politely tell them where to go.
This is a grotesque situation.
Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊
Friends, our postgrad programme is expanding and we’ve got an exciting opportunity for someone to join us and help engage change, by design. Deadline June 27 👉 Lecturer in Social Design at The University of Edinburgh @eca_edinburgh https://t.co/7V5jT32TbZ
Pay Rise Pete back at it again 🙄 spending time on his own pay rise rather than urging UCEA to negotiate pay and conditions for the staff members that keep this university going #settlethedispute
NEW: I have received @EdinburghUni's response to an open letter signed by nearly 1000 students.
It is refusing to ask @UCEA1 to resume negotiations with @ucu.
This morning, Cambridge University's VC said this should now happen. Full response below 👇🏼
