An important piece on disability inclusion for staff in HE. Written by our UCU Green rep Dr Sue Wilbraham wonkhe.com/blogs/time-t...

Really interesting piece from 20 mins in re the state of higher education in the North of England. Features our Regionsl Support Officer Jon Bryan. With you, for you @ucu.org.uk www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

This would tell you more than any staff survey

Apologies new followers, I’ve been away for a bit. Normal service to be resumed as soon as I’m sure of what is normal in this day & age

Our Regional Support Officer Jon Bryan everyone. Seven minutes in. Longer segment on Sunday Politics at the weekend. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00270g3

Your @ucu.org.uk reps walking into your meeting with a your presumptuous & ill informed managers youtube.com/shorts/ixsec...

Live scenes from the HEA sector in general, but the University of Cumbria in particular. 5 new pro vice chancellors, 1 new director & new head of post. Alongside 20+ redundancies & a recruitment freeze for teaching staff. @ucu.org.uk

Scholars are doing some modelling of the redundancy programmes in #UKHE and are curious about previous ones. We've added *some* history, but that is far from exhaustive. Could people help linking to other historic redundancy programmes, dating back to 2000? qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...

Don’t forget to join a union ✊🏻

We made a starter pack! It’s got all the formal branch and commitee presences we could find so far for #UCU - please let us know if your branch / regional committee / other formal elected committee is missing and we’ll do our best to keep it up to date! (No individuals on here) go.bsky.app/H8xiSXj

Let’s get connected ✊🏻 With you, for you UCU
