The DUA aims to increase cooperation between the defence sector and higher education. Instead of deepening the ties with the military-industrial complex, we call on the university to take its workers seriously. #UKHE

✊No more cuts! No more spending on war!✊ At a time of constant cuts and mergers, Queen Mary University of London joined the Defence University Alliance (DUA) in an opaque move.

Redundancies don’t just affect those selected. Where posts are cut but work remains, other staff absorb extra duties, increasing workload and impacting wellbeing, teaching quality and student support

That's why we sent £500 to each strike fund in solidarity with the workers of each university. ‼️Check the UCU dispute list! 📢Go down to a picket close to you! 🤝Send a solidarity message and donations! 📝Bring a solidarity motion to you next branch meeting! (2/2)

✊QM UCU supports branches currently on strike!✊ All over the country, the sector is facing mass redundancies, mergers, and deteriorating working conditions. But they don't take on an isolated group of workers! We stand together and support each other across branches! (1/2)

This downscaling is part of the UK-wide casualisation of TA/TF working conditions, which is making it increasingly difficult for PGRs to navigate academia. This is unacceptable!

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Lincoln University, who are once again facing redundancy! We also updated our #UKHE Shrinking list. Check it out to get a full picture of the systematic destruction of the sector: qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...

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.

And yet management @northumbriauni.bsky.social press on with plans to cut the pay of hundreds of staff on @teacherspensions.bsky.social. This is vindictive, unnecessary, a permanent stain on the university's reputation, and, with job losses imminent, is destroying morale. For what?

Solidarity works! Colleagues in History, Classics and Archaeology (HCA) at Newcastle have raised £586 for the UCU Nottingham fighting fund in support of members taking strike action against compulsory redundancies. The collection was organised in recognition that what happens at one

Indeed, utterly reckless. In case you're interested: alumni of York have started a petition for fellow alumni bsky.app/profile/wade...

A petition has now been created by Exeter UCU against these measures. Sign it here: c.org/LF57sK7YfR This careless obliteration of HASS subjects is needless and so cruel to the fantastic staff at Exeter, and the wider devaluing of humanities & arts subjects within UKHE must be stopped.

UCU thinks university rankings are nonsense. But university senior managers love them. They have been boasting about Leicester rising 12 places in the QS rankings. Leicester UCU prepared this infographic to offer a more long-term perspective.

What I *love* about UK Higher Education is that there is a belief in meritocracy which intentionally ignores the class system. Universities have to report on the jobs their students get after finishing their degrees and the salaries they get, as if their degree is divorced from their class ->
