  1. Journalist asks the leader of the UK’s University and College Union if she’s pregnant!

    “Journalists should be asking me about picket lines, not parenthood. The only reason a journalist will be asking me right now if I’m pregnant is to make the largest fight back in UK higher education appear to be about my hormones.”

  2. @sabinaleonelli Nice article!

    "University administrators...invest more in the glitz and less in the grit; more in the shiny things you see on the surface, less in the people doing hard work to keep it all afloat.

    Academic pay has fallen by 25% in real terms since 2010, while workloads have soared. A survey of thousands of staff last year found that they now work, on average, two extra days a week, unpaid."

  3. UK University Strikes:

    "Universities have built a business model that relies on people who care, continuing to do things for free, whilst also paying them 25% less than they did in 2009 and constantly attacking their pensions."

    Jo Grady, General Secretary of the University and College Union
