@uochester Nothing about the core business of education? What about listening to what students want, such as in-person lectures NOT online delivery, which was the overwhelming student response in the Higher Education Policy Institute student experience survey published on 23 June 2021

[nessie @nessie38163331]

Higher education is under threat. Students an afterthought in government Covid plans. University responds by threatening staff redundancies. We stood together on Saturdays Rally to protect our academic community. #reclaimouruniversity #noredundancieschester

✨What a FANTASTIC day! ✨

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who supported us, both in person and online. The solidarity was palpable!

With special thanks to all the speakers, especially @DrJoGrady @NigelUNI @hankmagrait @EMMAREES @profstevewilko and the wonderful @pcssambaband 👏

@NoRedundancies @ChesterUcu I'm coming because I'm still worried about the future. THREE of our BEST engineering staff felt so under-valued they have LEFT us - so in this sense management has won and I do not want this to happen again. See you very soon friends!!!!

I believe the word is 'embezzlement'

[UCU Chester @ChesterUcu]

2019 financial reports reveal that, while in a previous role at Nottingham Trent, Chester VC Eunice Simmons funnelled £54,000 to ‘Taskscape Associates’, a company she co-directs with her husband. Taskscape made films for NTU on the theme of ‘social mobility’. 2/7

[UCU Chester @ChesterUcu]

As senior management teams across the country slash and burn their institutions, cutting excellent staff and departments without a thought, Chester’s VC gives us a snapshot of the perks and paybacks those same managers have come to expect. THREAD 1/7

[Jonathan Hay @jonie148]

@craigdjohnson I'll confirm, and get back to you on that Craig!

[Jonathan Hay @jonie148]

Join us on Saturday 24th July - it's going to be huge! #ourchesterstory

[Nigel Flanagan @NigelUNI]

@ChesterUcu Let’s hope so!! 2 Departments left ..... Solidarity to all in Engineering and in MMP

[UCU Chester @ChesterUcu]

BREAKING: the University of Chester has withdrawn the risk of redundancy from staff in three departments: English, Theology & Geography. Staff in other areas remain at risk, so our fight to oppose compulsory redundancies will continue with the same level of determination.
