Current plans to reduce staffing in the historic Sociology, Goldsmiths by as much as *HALF* risk “reducing it to a corpse fit only for autopsy.” Damning words of solidarity from Professor Les Back Les Back 🙏 #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths, University of London

Let University of Liverpool know your thoughts about their open day today where they collaborated with the police to violently arrest two students via their instagram 😁😁

The Students of Alareer Square & all our student encampments are doing what everyone should-protesting genocide & complicity, refusing business as usual, protesting the extermination of Palestinians. Unis have a duty of care to the students; they must protect their right to protest University of Liverpool UCU #CeasefireNow

Update: Both students have since been released from police custody. One student was held for over 12 hours at St Anne's station for drawing on the ground with chalk. We strongly condemn the Merseyside Police, and the University of Liverpool's violence against their own students.

I'm on strike. I hope you support us. The university where I love teaching, wants to sack over 130 of us. Please support us in any way you can. To find out how, follow: Goldsmiths UCU

As a lecturer of race and decolonial studies I call upon @livuni Humanities & Social Sciences @ Uni of Liverpool CSIS and all associated institutions claiming to uphold commitments to antiracism and against police brutality to condemn the actions of Merseyside Police against our students this past Saturday.

Disturbing scenes at #LiverpoolUniOpenDay, as police attack a peaceful student encampment protesting against the war in #Gaza. Until now, UK Universities have not behaved as appallingly as those in the US. Get a grip @livuni Universities UK! Solidarity to students & University of Liverpool UCU #CeasefireNow.

Solidarity with Goldsmiths❤️ The pressures they’re under are immense. Reapplying for their own jobs, awaiting to hear their fate and that of their colleagues. Facing the loss of livelihood while not being paid. Send support by donating to their strike fund gofund.me/691ca48d

Solidarity and hugs to each & every Goldsmiths, University of London staff member who will hear today whether they’ve been unfairly targeted for redundancy as part of a process that has no legitimacy in a jobs cull that should not exist #NotADoneDeal

People should be paying FAR more attention to this - it’s an absolute butchery - a senior management team hell bent on ruining people’s lives and destroying education

Wow. Made professor this year. Was so proud! Belived in some sort of meritocracy against all odds. Now I’m being made redundant. Thanks Goldsmiths, University of London for bursting all bubbles. Now see you in court Goldsmiths UCU

Good to see the ⁦The Guardian⁩ nailing the corruption of university managements’ values and academics’ resistance here.

The reason VIce Chancellors haven't fought back against a funding model that is destroying higher education 👇

Pertinent read today as Goldsmiths decimate departments, making so many staff redundant. University managers are violent charlatans who have destroyed all that's great about higher education, aided and abetted by government Solidarity Goldsmiths UCU theguardian.com/politics/ng-in…

Big shoutout again to UCU members & branches for their support on strike day 3, including the amazing Goldsmiths UCU to whom we send our #solidarity. ❤️ Thank you also to Unite London & Eastern and @UnitetheUnion officials who joined our picket protest this morning. #ReclaimUCU

Hi Jon Snow, we are the Students of Alareer Square, currently occupying what was formerly Abercromby Square. We are protesting University of Liverpool's complicity in the Palestinian genocide, can we count on your support? Please message us privately if possible, thank you so much

The students of Students of Alareer Square forced a conversation, demanded people didn’t forget what was happening in Gaza and built a community while they did it. They reminded us all to hold our institutions and ourselves to account and to make education a safe route for those at risk!

3 months after submitting our pay claim; 2 weeks until our new pay year; 1 cancelled pay meeting: still no pay offer. No word on the employer’s review into savings from lower USS contributions, which the GS said would all be shared with staff. #LocalClaim #PayTermsConditions

We have written a statement in support of Professor Emeritus James Dickins as the university recommends to revoke his emeritus status without due process: leedsucu.org.uk/solidarity-wit… ✍️Please sign the petition to urge UoL to reconsider: change.org/p/demand-that-…

At today’s branch committee meeting unanimous support was expressed to Unite UCU in their dispute against the SMT of UCU, and a donation to their strike fund has been agreed. We call on Jo Grady to resolve this dispute immediately. #ReclaimUCU
