Speaking up for HE at UNISON's National Delegates Conference this week!
The HE sector in UNISON is growing in numbers and we are more united and determined than ever to end this crisis.
So proud of activists in our sector for their tireless efforts. We are galvanising! ✊
The report on failures at Dundee University is devastating. All sorts of financial, leadership and governance failures.
And this ol’ indicator:
‘Female members of staff in particular, reported being spoken over, side-lined or discussed in public as being obstructive’

Solidarity with MMU UNISON!! A fantastic, organised branch - get behind them! ✊
"These include a statement that “the curriculum shall not rely on or reinforce stereotypical assumptions about trans people” and... “any materials within relevant courses and modules [to] positively represent trans people and trans lives”."
Horrifying stuff, clearly. You can see why it has to go.
Students and staff at Glasgow uni are united in their determination to see the university divest from the arms industry.
We have written to the secretary of court, calling for an emergency meeting of court and immediate action to be taken to ensure student's welfare is supported.
Divest NOW.
✊🏻❤️
Absolutely shocking news coming out of Dundee today.
Sending solidarity to the UCU staff on strike there, and the UNISON Branch which is going to be dealing with over 400 support staff facing redundancy.
Time to get angry and get 👏🏻 ORGANISED 👏🏻 - this sector is falling apart!

Amazing thanks! Will be sure to look through and follow everyone in the starter pack 👍
The House of Commons education committee will not be looking into any higher education issues when it announces its first inquiries under new parliament, I have learned.
One former DfE-er calls it "staggering" given challenges facing universities.

The National has seen an email sent by the institution’s management to staff and students outlining how, despite overwhelming opposition, the university decided not to divest from weapons firms

EXCLUSIVE: The University of Glasgow is facing fury from staff and students after its ruling body decided not to divest from weapons firms
The email sent to all staff today has provoked anger, upset and many feel betrayed by the university's senior management.
Students, staff and unions will continue to fight for a proper responsible investment policy which reflects the views of the university community. 2/2
We are extremely disappointed in the decision made yesterday by SMG and University Court against divestment from arms.
Views of students and staff have been completed ignored, despite those who responded to the (poorly communicated) survey voting over 80% in favour of divestment. 1/2
