Oh the irony, on the day in which I describe my "Best Day Ever" in Nature, university leaders announce 600+ redundancies*, and today we all receive notices that our jobs are at risk. Through their fault. And with no consideration as to what a 22:1 teaching ratio will do to almost everything, but especially league tables. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01479-8 (*via VR, then CR if numbers not achieved) #UCU #UoN

Helaas kreeg UCU-student Thijs minder stemmen van de kijkers dan Ruben die de #TVOH heeft gewonnen. Thijs had zoals beloofd een andere kant van zichzelf laten zien en dat was de showman. Dat was superleuk om te zien. Dank je wel Thijs voor een bijzonder optreden. #UniUtrecht #UCU

Huge Win on USS Pension Valuations:
@ucu have successfully negotiated a change to the methodology to be used for future #USS Pension Scheme valuations which will benefit all members. This change is a major achievement by UCU’s negotiating team and national officials, as well as all members who had voted for and taken the strike action which has unfortunately been necessary to focus the minds of employers and keep this on the agenda.

the University and College Union at University of Edinburgh have voted in favour of strike action in response to potential 1800 job loses and another round of massive cuts. (background here: https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/14418/New-strike-ballot-at-Edinburgh-University-in-dispute-over-cuts-and-job-losses, no announcement yet)
This is at Edinburgh, where the principal did not know **his own salary** when asked at a Scottish Parliament committee https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-university-boss-who-didnt-31811867. (It is almost 500k)
Another sign of broken higher education in the UK. Solidarity with UoE staff ✊

I keep seeing placements for #phd researchers to go on placements for ~3 months. They sound like exciting things, particularly for researchers new to the jobs market. Although not for me, I keep getting struck by the number that offer no fee.
While if it’s part of a course for taught programmes, or contributing to research, that’s fine. But blanket “come work for us for three months cause we are great” — that seems incredibly financially discriminatory. #AcademicChatter #UniversityOfYork #UCU @ucu @ucupostgrads -
