If anyone is reading an email from the senior leadership team of their university that includes a line similar to 'compulsory redundancies remain a last resort for the University and will be avoided wherever possible' - this is your reminder to join a union. @ucu @ucuedinburgh

Come join us at the doors now or show up for the rally at 10 to show support! We need as many people as possible to show management we don't allow them to fund and support genocide with our money and labour ❗❗

[NUS Scotland @NUSScotland]

Across the UK too many students are staying in accommodation that isn't safe or livable, and are often paying extortionate rents too.

In Scotland the housing bill is an opportunity to #FixStudentHousing but it still needs some work. Support our campaign:

[Edinburgh Justice for Palestine @eu_jps]

To those who might take us for unnecessary troublemakers, this represents the real driving force behind our actions: in memory of the 14,000 children who have died, and all Palestinians who have fallen while protecting their land. We must do our part to bring an end to the University of Edinburgh’s complicity in Israeli crimes.

[ssassemblyedi @ssassemblyedi]

Join us tomorrow at @eu_jps' Student encampment at #BalfourUniversity for our FIRST teach-out by @nadiasilhi. Bring your family, friends, community members to this (un)learning space. Details in the flyer. #communitylearning #BDS #FreePalestine #DivestNOW #RafahUnderAttack

[UCU @ucu]

International students are invaluable to UK's culture, universities, economy & workforce. Losing their presence would deprive the nation of immense vibrancy & dynamism.

The government need to halt their hostile attacks on students from overseas

In light of #BalfourUniversity's continued support of the ongoing Nakba, we call on students and staff alike to join us at Old College encampment and demand divestment this Wednesday, May 15th ✊

[Nicola Perugini @PeruginiNic]

550 members of staff at the University of Edinburgh have sent a letter to senior management in support of the Gaza student encampment, asking to abide by UN standards (ICJ) and divest from companies complicit with Israel’s genocide & colonial dispossession https://t.co/fpr9eLn7Do

[ssassemblyedi @ssassemblyedi]

"A total of 549 staff at the University of Edinburgh signed the letter, which was sent to senior management on Friday afternoon." Staff represent EVERY college at @EdinburghUni. Coverage by
