Invitation to discuss my half-sacking (or ‘variation of contract’) with HR and the dean. I wonder what it could mean…

Best of luck to @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social members going on strike for over a month. Nobody does this willingly - it’s a last resort, unlike that enormously rich university’s slash and burn tactics.

Please stop taking at face value what Cofnas says about anything including his own situation. He's not fired. He's not been suspended for being a whistleblower. He's suspended, yes, but for other important things, like bringing the university into disrepute.

Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon has reiterated that the West Bank is not Palestinian land occupied by Israel but rather land based on historical and biblical rights of Jewish people. It’s for this reason that he thought calling Jewish communities “settlers” in their “own land” was a disgrace.

Absolutely the situation here. The 3 out of 12 people who survive (we find out next week, probably) will be faced with teaching departing colleagues’ modules or finding and supporting underpaid hourly staff to do so in 3 weeks’ time. It can’t go well for anyone at all.

A great example of what always happens when the lads are asked to consider their own deep, immediately obvious guilt: like the Iraq War or austerity or Brexit, it turns out it was everybody’s fault. And if it’s everybody’s fault, nobody is really to blame www.thetimes.com/article/aadd...
