The University of Essex plans to close their Southend campus and cut up to 400 jobs — around one in five staff! But the staff and students are fighting back. Sign their petition to stop the cuts, save Southend, and protect education www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/sa...

they’re coming for everyone but hitting the parts with the most positive social impact hardest: campus in Southend that was part of regeneration plans which trains nurses & social workers our foundation programme which does incredible work none of the rest of us *can* do

Since they're not restructuring, they're putting us all at risk because there may be a diminished need for "teaching and research", which are... the university's missions I guess?

Its been a while since i've posted, but coming out of social media intermission to share this devastating announcement we've had at Essex University this week - 400 proposed redundancies.

Very excited to be in Berlin for 4(!) days of workshop, conference and meetings with excellent colleagues from global health law. I haven’t yet worked out how to use this platform properly and hopefully someone else will write a coherent post I can repost !

Imagine a cancer conference run by or dominated by tobacco industry How is that different from Climate conferences run or dominated by fossil fuel industry?
