Newcastle University goes from 'Raising the Bar' to a doom loop of redundancies, course closures and failure. It's hard to see any future for UK HE except as a narrowly-focussed credentialling arm of the tech sector.

Come down to Newcastle, come up to Newcastle, come across to Newcastle — join the NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION in Newcastle on June 11th. Everyone who thinks HE needs to be supported and accessible to all is welcome! For your agenda's: 11 June, 12-2pm, Newcastle!

We also need to push the government. A small step in doing so would be for you to sign this open letter to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social docs.google.com/document/d/e...

As the university's management escalates by pressing ahead with up to 38 compulsory redundancies, after losing over 260 of our colleagues through voluntary severance, our membership’s clear message remains: STOP this. Members are upset angry and aghast by the behaviour of university management.

But but but: UUK dude told the Education Committee that at no point do universities put estates before jobs. Do you mean to say he might not have told the entire truth? 🤔

Durham Students for Palestine are planning a small rally on the geography map tomorrow (Wed 14th) at 1pm, if any UCU members would like to go show some support.

www.timeshighereducation.com/news/plymout... What can we say. This is so damaging and unnecessary. Our members are outraged and will continue to be out on strike next week. Management clearly do not care about the education provision for students.

Management is pressing ahead. Tell them you don't agree with all this damage to the university and regional economy. www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-university-compulsory-job-cut-31592955
