“People who work in universities are feeling absolutely betrayed by being dragged into this conversation as if their contribution is not recognised.”
Migrant staff put down roots, build lives and make an enormous contribution to our universities and communities.
Their right to remain should not be treated as a political football.

The past decade has seen a dramatic rise in teaching-only roles in the UK, particularly outside the sciences. But does that amount to a welcome focus on education or a cost-saving wheeze that constricts the pipeline of research talent? Juliette Rowsell reports

Universities don’t go bankrupt in isolation
When student numbers fall & a university cuts back, the shock spreads through the city: halls, landlords, shops, cafés, contractors, transport & local jobs
Dundee’s student-housing collapse is a warning

“Management calls it change. We call it making staff and students pay the price.”
University of Brighton management wants longer hours, more working weeks and fundamentally worse conditions for staff.
Now it is trying to rip up UCU’s recognition agreement to force its agenda through.
The entire trade union movement must stand against this attack. BACK DOWN.
The rain didn’t stop us.
Today we stood proud against the University of Brighton’s outrageous threat to derecognise UCU.
We will not let our members’ rights be trampled on.
Like and share to stand with our members and send management a message: BACK DOWN.

UCU members at Brighton University face the threat of derecognition. We have called an emergency rally tomorrow at 1:15pm.
It would be amazing to see as many #TUC26 delegates as possible in attendance.

Emergency Protest - Hands off our contracts - defend the campus unions at the University of Brighton - assemble Tuesday 15 September 1pm at Grand Parade main building, University of Brighton BN2 0YJ - speakers include @DrJoGrady @ucu #TUC26
“Trans rights are human rights, and an injury to one is an injury to all.”
UCU vice-president Mark Pendleton seconded Composite Motion C01 on union equality reps at #TUC26.
Equality is not separate from industrial work. It is our industrial work.
“Reform are fuelled by total and utter division.” @DrJoGrady last night on sky.
Anti-LGBT+. Anti-university. Anti-NHS. And now, it seems, anti-veteran.
Division isn’t a side effect of Reform’s politics. It’s the point.
Reform routinely attack universities as a "scam" and denigrate the value of higher education.
The VC of Manchester Met and president of Universities UK should be defending the sector. Not cosying up to those who want to undermine it. Full response ⬇️

It is sadly no surprise to see this point being made by another former employee of my former employer.
This is the scandal that underlies all scandals in higher education.

Nottingham staff will strike on 30 September and 1 October as University Council meets to decide the future of jobs and courses.
Further strike action will run from 5 October to 11 December.
Management can still stop this: rule out compulsory redundancies and protect teaching and research.
