The situation at the University of Edinburgh is so grim right now. To deduct 100% salary for a marking boycott … is a likely illegal move from management.

Solidarity with @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social who have called for a marking and assessment boycott as part of their dispute over £140m cuts, up to 1800 job cuts, hidden redundancies and lack of meaningful consultation. The employer’s 100% wage deduction threat is truly a cartoon villain-type response.

Taking a mini break from writing essays for my post-grad submission. Learning a lot about myself as a learner. Questions: Can I refer to brilliant Bell Hooks ‘Teaching to Transgress’ too many times? Is it nerdy that I give a wee cheer to all I agree with in her writing?
