Plans to cut mental health courses at the University of East Anglia have been criticised as “short-sighted” and a “dereliction of civic responsibility”. More on the proposed Clinical Psychology course closures at UEA via @timeshighered.bsky.social - www.timeshighereducation.com/news/closure...

Closure of UEA mental health courses ‘deeply concerning’

University says NHS and apprenticeship changes make programmes ‘no longer viable’ but union calls move a ‘dereliction of civic responsibility’

“At UEA, it is understood that 22 staff are earning more than £150k and 4 staff are on £205k. At a time when university managers are pushing through large-scale job cuts, this is frankly obscene”

Last day on the picket with @uea-ucu.bsky.social , fighting to get management to take compulsory redundancies off the table. Their road is a cruel, unnecessary, and frankly obstinate one. They say they don’t believe morale is low. They say neither us nor the students will notice.

But we at @uea-ucu.bsky.social have a vision of a different UEA. One where solidarity, support, and mutual care is core. One where we work together to fight the current dumpster fire that is UK HE. One where we fight for the long term with reasonable ideas, not short term pocket lining.

Despite voluntary redundancies & cost savings already made this year, UEA still want to force through compulsory redundancies to save the last 0.25% of annual operating costs, despite our UCU branch showing them alternative savings routes. UEA can & should “Do Different” & end this cruelty now

To impose all that anxiety and uncertainty on colleagues to save the last 0.25% of annual operating costs when we - the local UCU branch - have shown other ways to make savings they claim they need is the height of heartless managerialism An institution so worried about reputation…bizarre own goal
