[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

The v-c of Goldsmiths, University of London, has accused his local union branch of “not facing up to the harsh financial realities” that the institution faces as its members begin an indefinite strike, warning that the university will be “severely threatened by August 2027” without cuts.

[UCU Northumbria - SHY BAIRNS GET NOWT! @UCUNUbranch]

One 'senior manager' is now VC @NorthumbriaUni - cutting the pay of staff who stay in TPS, offering rounds of 'voluntary' severance, and buying and doing up property like nobody's business. Our Chancellor may be TV's lovely @MrGeorgeClarke, but even he'd have a job fixing this.

Any parent and applicant planning to attend the Sussex University Open Day today, we can save you the trouble: these are the non-answers staff is told to give you.

To send your staff out with this nonsense and treat visitors to this ChatGPT approach is disrespectful to all.

Fighting not only for our jobs but the future of education and thus the country.

Your fight is our fight, and our fight yours.

Together we will win this and save our universities.

The next 48 hours are crucial. The government has just launched a consultation on guaranteed hours.

Sign this petition asking them to stand firm on their pledge to tackle insecure work and ban exploitative zero-hours contracts. https://t.co/zAOCpbkNF4 via @megaphoneuk

[UCU Coventry Uni @CovUCUBranch]

Wow! @covcampus Coventry University Senior Leaders have reached a new low, they’ve just told staff about to start the Bank Holiday weekend, at 4.30pm that they’re not got a job. The same SLT that @UKLabour are so fond of. @BBCCWR

[Queen Mary UCU @qm_ucu]

Management paid nearly a quarter million to the external consultancy NOUS, whose generic 'framework' is now used to turn QMUL into a Cookie Cutter University.

These modules make QMUL. They bring students in contact with the cutting-edge research & widen the scope of academia.

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

🚨 FIFTH consecutive vote for industrial action 🚨

🔥 75% turnout
🔥 73% YES to strike action
🔥 81% YES to ASOS

Our members will not tolerate victimisation and won’t be intimidated.

UCU staff are not the enemy. It’s beyond time for the GS to talk to us.

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

In an unprecedented move, one reflective of these deeply unprecedented times, UoN branches of three different unions (@UCU, @unisonuon, and @unite_uon) have all successfully passed motions of no confidence in the Vice Chancellor and the entire executive board.

The government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill could give businesses the green light to trash habitats and threaten wildlife. Say no to attacks on nature!
