Managers are always keen to claim the ‘sector wide challenges’ as if they have no agency but someone still is making decisions (+ claiming the six-figure salaries for that ‘responsibility’). And their paths to decision are made very opaque. #UKHE needs a change of financial system & governance.

This isn’t “efficiency” it’s an ideological shift towards a Little England university system. Nottingham is set to become the only Russell Group university with no modern languages or music degrees. 48 courses on the line. We’re fighting it. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

University of Nottingham considers axing language and music degrees

Total of 48 degrees could disappear from Russell Group institution, with falling revenues and rising costs blamed

“We were absolutely gobsmacked.” 48 courses axed, music, languages, mental health care, childcare. No consultation. No vision. This is why we’re voting YES, to stop the destruction of our universities. #WeAreTheUniversity #VoteYES @uonucu.bsky.social

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike. On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible. Support our action to save jobs and save the University! #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni #WeAreTheUniversity

A group of over 40 people stand listening to speeches at the front of the Tower Building at the University of Dundee. The people are on a picket line for Dundee Universities and College Union. Many are wearing pink hats with ‘UCU’ on the front.

Imperial UCU members are on strike today and tomorrow. This action covers all parts of the College — academic, technical, administrative, and operational. It’s about fairness, dignity, and pay that keeps pace with the cost of living.

Universities would not function without support staff. A 1.4% pay offer is an insult to their hard work and dedication. All staff deserve better than a real-terms pay cut. The UNISON pay ballot for industrial action opens TODAY. VOTE YES for industrial action. #fundourfuture #fundourpay

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

ICYMI on Tuesday, here's my *new* and *free* short-form summary of what's gone wrong in our universities. This is something of a last word really, because unless the Budget and White Paper do something really radical, the fate of much HE is already sealed. politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/where-n...

Where now for Britain’s Universities?

UK higher education now faces a very bleak future, retreating in the face of little public sympathy and limited political interest.
