Student suicides are widely reported — rightly so, or nothing would change University staff also die by suicide, often due to bullying or excessive workload Institutions usually hush this up Reliable statistics are needed amid today’s university stresses @forthe100.bsky.social

Zero tolerance to bullying & harassment in universities should mean zero victims — not 25% Instead, it’s complainants & whistleblowers who face zero tolerance ... while bullies & harassers face zero consequences

🔥 The Question We Can’t Ignore Would we accept this level of loss in schools? Would we accept it in the workplace? So why do we accept it in universities? Students deserve safety and protection — not platitudes. #DutyOfCare #StudentMentalHealth

New study shows stark gaps between student groups at risk of suicide The new data from the ONS did not, however, look at why there were such discrepancies between demographics when it comes to student suicide www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

A snapshot from our survey on bullying, harassment & neglect with @forthe100.bsky.social Top of the table are Cardiff, Strathclyde, Cambridge & Dundee Universities If you've been mistreated, complete the survey here: 21percent.org?p=2571 Help bring accountability to those who run universities

Way back in 2012 I had a breakdown while working at Cardiff University; therapy provided by the Staff Counselling service helped greatly in my recovery. A few years later the Management scrapped the Counselling service. That's probably the reason for the poor scores on mental health support.

Together with @forthe100.bsky.social, we are conducting survey to find the Hateful Eight The 8 worst UK universities for discrimination, bullying, harassment & lack of care Whether staff or student, if you've been mistreated, tell us in our survey 21percent.org?p=2124 Who'll top the Hateful 8 ?

#DutyOfCare #StudentMentalHealth 🕯 Last week marked 2 years since the UK Parliament debated a legal duty of care for university students. Despite progress, there’s still no legal guarantee of student safety. The petitioners asked for law. The Gov’t offered policy.

This review took two years — but it doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. It lists familiar problems: untrained staff, poor communication, delayed or absent support. But it doesn’t even try to explore the underlying systemic issues... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The verdict in this case, if it proceeds to full trial, will shed much light on the question of when and whether a university owes its students a duty of care.

Here we go again🧵 These arguments about extra time always miss the central point which is that traditional, time-limited, closed book exams are a poor way to assess and if that many students need extra time, then I'd be taking a long, hard look at the assessment method...
