"University leaders should campaign for adequate funding, rather than trying to solve their problems by attacking our members’ jobs and forcing down pay."

‘Any new administration would be well advised to trust academics, and work alongside them – not against them – to bring about the long-term stability that future generations of students deserve’ https://t.co/slf4p9k0dY via @wonkhe

In the meantime our university is waging a war against its own staff rather than pulling us all together and leading a campaign for the value of what we do. Unbelievable.

General election: Universities ‘could become key battleground’.

Universities have been warned of a tough campaign ahead of the general election on 4 July, with higher education seen as a significant battleground in the run-up to the vote.

Inspired by the courage and unity of our colleagues @GoldsmithsUCU they’re not accepting to be treated as rubbish and to get into scrambles for a place in a depleted university. #NotaDoneDeal #stopredundancies #saveHE #savehumanities

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

📢Dear management,
This is not going away.
Extraordinary mobilisation @GoldsmithsUoL
where staff & students have occupied buildings across campus to protest management's brutal, madcap & UNNECESSARY restructure.
It's not #NotaDoneDeal

‘Academic Fit for the Future’ is a plan devised by LSBU’s current custodians to save their skins. It discards many of those who teach and research. If they’re not after you now they may come back for you in September. It’s on the plan. Unite and organise otherwise we’re all done

[Emma Jackson @EmmakJackson]

Goldsmiths Management have come back to us after consultation and still plan to make many of us redundant- 133 people. But it is #notadonedeal. Ways to support us. 1. Make a noise! Join this mornings Twitterstorm 2. Donate here to the support fund https://t.co/YtCImWhm1x

And this is the reality of all those voluntary severance schemes:

🚨STRIKE🚨

If @sheffhallamuni management do not stop the planned jobs cuts, they will face strike action

We will not stand by while management tears teaching, research and academic standards to shreds

Is the current downsizing going to make universities small enough to fail? https://t.co/zh0YjxSQi9

[UCUHallam @UCUHallam]

Great to be standing with you in our fight against cuts at SHU ✊️

[Goldsmiths UCU @GoldsmithsUCU]

📣Good morning:
Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is NOW OCCUPIED because SMT refuse to stop the unnecessary cull of jobs as part of a move to destroy the arts and humanities.
Listen to this @GoldsmithsUoL student's call for direct action and solidarity!
Please share ✊⤵️

[Susan Kelly @SusanAKelly]

Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is now occupied in opposition to management’s Transformation Programme and the planned *130* redundancies. 1/5

[Des Freedman @lazebnic]

A university that spends over £1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with @GoldsmithsUCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal @GoldsmithsUoL

[London South Bank University UCU @uculsbu]

@NatashaNonBuono @LSBUNISON It is appalling that the students haven’t been (and still are not being) consulted or indeed informed of what is going on. Talk to your students union about it. If you have a chance please write to us on [email protected]. We are collecting students’ views on the plans

In a @ucu ballot, 97% of voters said they had no confidence in @UniOfSurrey 's vice-chancellor Professor Max Lu @uniofsurreyVC, its provost Professor Tim Dunne and the executive board 👇 @UcuSurrey

[Queen Mary UCU @qm_ucu]

Every management keeps opening VS schemes and thinking it’s ok to respond to the question “how many staff members are you looking to lose” with “no idea”. These are people’s lives. Do some planning.

SEVEN HUNDRED JOBS.
