Well, well, well, if this ain't the thing we've all been saying for a while.

Why are managements & their management consultants acting with false narratives from over a decade ago? Why are they allowed to destroy departments with that ignorance?

'cuts to universities’ arts departments threaten to quash national dialogue on 'really challenging questions''

The whole sector will suffer as a result 👇

Neoliberalism's oldest trick - gradually normalise the unacceptable through it's 'mainstream' propaganda mediums.

The purpose is to extract as much as it can from workers in favour of the wealthy & powerful

- proper funding of post 16 education is also affordable

Ask your MP to support the higher education sector by calling on the Westminster government to fund pension scheme increases for universities, in the same way as schools and further education colleges: ucu.org.uk/fund-TPS-incre…

We've produced a map of redundancies and restructues ripping through British Higher Education based on the work done by comrades Queen Mary UCU:

Seeing this video and the scandal unfolding, are we surprised that USS Pension Fund has a substantial investment in Thames Water?
'The value we placed on Thames Water at the end of March 2023 is fully reflected in our latest actuarial valuation...' uss.co.uk/news-and-views…

Wow, here they go again. Impressive, comrades, solidarity

Hey The Guardian columnist;
How disappointing! Problems do not start in 2017; PwC stats rarely true; no mention of Tories waving student cap draining post-92s; no mention of building frenzy; no mention of false financial projections; etc #betterjournalism

Great and important work from the comrades at UCU Queen Mary (wondering why UCU National was not doing work like this already)

How do we FOI just how much money consultants are making off the destruction of Higher Education in the UK? People are getting rich-rich from this vandalism. (and are just copy-pasting, not thinking, reflecting, and imagining)

Esther McVey, Minister for Common Sense, and her husband talk a lot about wasteful public spending. But how careful are they with your money in their own lives? We’ve found out. 👀

BREAKING 🚨 | The UN has said the Conservatives are 'demonising' disabled people through its 'traumatising' benefits system.

A special inquiry report found 'grave and systemic' violations of disabled people's rights under the Government's austerity and welfare reform measures.

Thank you to all the students who showed solidarity during last year's strike action ✊

Great to see so much support on the BBC 👏
