“News of constant job losses and course closures is causing lasting damage to universities’ reputations and may inflict further financial harm by hitting student recruitment.” This is consistent with feedback from many @cardiffucu.bsky.social members. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/uk-staf...

Huge public interest story about what looks to be a cover up of a stitch up about how the controversial Cardiff University Kazakhstan (CUK) was ratified. This will further damage the Uni’s tattered reputation, as well as staff & student confidence in Council & Uni bosses. 1/3 🤯👇

The good news is that Cardiff is reducing cuts to nursing education. The bad news is (a) the others will go ahead; (b) nursing will still be cut and Wales needs loads more nurses. No Senior Management Team should have these powers over strategic infrastructure. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@cardiffucu.bsky.social on our very reluctant industrial action in defence of jobs: “It’s absolutely awful that our students are going to have to suffer for the mismanagement and terrible decisions taken by Cardiff Uni bosses - we’ve got huge student support.” youtu.be/7rUT7dWQW2s?...

After my last (work-related) episode of depression I got this book. It looks great… … It’s very telling that I still haven’t had time to read it.

Philip Augar, who lead on the review of post-18 education and funding neatly summing up the failures of governance in #UKHE. Note how he links the problems directly to the lifting of the student number caps and the thoughtless scramble that inspired. #SaveHE

I’ve just been on BBC Radio Wales talking about cuts at Cardiff University, and the industrial action @cardiffucu.bsky.social members will be taking this summer against compulsory redundancies. I really don’t want to do a marking boycott. They suck. We may have no choice. youtu.be/9q-2uPm5zx4?...

For clarification, the number of FTEs cut is still 400. 286 is the number left over after VSS. The uni has not budged. This is NOT a scale-back.

Just had confirmation from Cardiff Business School Management Board that all of our academic staff remain at risk of redundancy.

While there were some good(ish) news at Cardiff today, with the schools of Chemistry and Mathematics miving out of scope for redundancy, and plans for the closure of nursing on hold, many in the School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences remain at risk (1300 in total).

A huge amount of work has gone into this campaign from so many people. Shows what can be achieved when enough people are willing to stand up and make their voices heard.

Cardiff nursing lectures continue to demonstrate the value they bring to the nursing profession. I am consistently impressed by the amount of passion and professionalism displayed at this uncertain and challenging time. Da iawn.

This campaign has been some of the most important work I have done in life so far. It has been such a privilege to stand beside these incredible nurses and fight for what is right for the people of Wales.

The more 'elite' focus of the proposals will exacerbate an already dangerous crisis of participation in HE for Welsh young people. Wales has the lowest levels of participation in UK. We need a national discussion about what HE is for before it’s cut in ways it can’t be repaired.
