Council wrote the following to all staff 📸👇

As an institution, they have learnt Abso.Lutely.Nothing.

Sadly, the plummet into University of Surrey redundancies seems to de-mystify that disappearance & remodelling of Exec Board expenses: surrey.ac.uk/about/manageme…

The 'optics' don't look good 👀

We cannot thank enough the @UCU committee members, reps and volunteers who have come forward to help @UCUSurrey members facing consultation meetings.

It is at the very worst of times - that you see the very best of people 🙏

Another important issue within the current University of Surrey comms 'black out' is the effects their 'plan' will have on UG & PGR students 👇

It will impact the entire campus community.

Thank you to the 100+ @UCUSurrey members who attended today! Next steps to be anounced shortly ✊

Additionally, in the latest @UniofSurrey Council minutes Feb 2024, it is interesting just how much is redacted. Council 'approved the financial resilience plan' but then redacted this section as well as many others:

Max Lu @UCU UCUSurrey #NoCompulsoryRedundancies

The university and their poor financial management have brought this upon themselves.

Solidarity with UCUSurrey #NoCompulsoryRedundancies, the whole union is behind you ✊

👊 92% voted in favour of a no-confidence motion against the vice chancellor
👊 96% backed the same for the executive board

Historical borrowing, high-risk multi-million pound projects, unnecessary spending .... an all too familiar story across UKHE

@UCU has argued that poor financial management in 'historical borrowing and significant spending on multi-million-pound projects' undermined @UniofSurrey claims 👇
