🚨 KEY DATES FOR THE POSTAL BALLOT 🚨 Jot them down, add them to your Google calendars, write them in flames a mile high (for any Senior Management reading this, that's a joke 😇)

🚨🚨 E-consultation on strike action in your inboxes!! 🚨🚨 This morning you will have gotten an email from us with the subject line '#DefendExeterUni EUCU Industrial Action consultative ballot.' 💌 It is VERY IMPORTANT you vote through the link that email!! [1/3]

Missed the VC’s speech? Lucky you. Here’s the financial highlights! 1/ Confirmed Exeter uni is STILL IN SURPLUS for 25/26 2/ The top 16 execs at Exeter have a combined pay packet of nearly £4m 3/ The VC has a pay packet of nearly £400k a year 4/ Our cash reserves are going up, year on year [1/2]

We just had a meeting with over 700 (!!) of our members and OVERWHELMINGLY voted in favour of a motion to calling for a strike ballot! 🩷 We're doing this together. We are the University! #DefendExeterUni.

🚨🚨 MEMBERS MEETING TODAY AT 2PM 🚨🚨 We did it last week; we need to do it again today! Join our meeting (you will have a Teams invite in your inbox) this afternoon. This meeting is vital for getting our local industrial action mandate. The biggest weapon we have against these cuts. #DefendExeterUni

Really heartening to see lots of support over at Instagram today. 🩷 Students and alumnae are posting about their great lecturers, and @graceblakeley.substack.com just posted a video highlighting the impacts on the Southwest! 📢 We're in this together. Lets protect this great University!

Hey Bluesky crowd! You also should be signing our petition opposing the announced redundancies at the University of Exeter. 📢 We're 17k and growing! Redundancies ARE NOT necessary and we must #DefendExeterUni 🩷 c.org/RFqMvrKb6z

Scenes from our VC’s climate conference talk ‼️ You can’t please all the people all the time. But as our senior management are learning if you lack a moral compass, make bad decisions and remain aloof and refuse to listen to the upset you cause, you certainly CAN alienate all the people all the time.

Nearly half of the academic staff in the Environment and Sustainability Institute at the Penryn Campus are now at risk of redundancy. Putting your world-leading staff at risk is not sustainable! 🌍🔥[1/4]
