Fee income targets proved overinflated, building projects sunk, and now Universities are hoping to fundraise via philanthropists, benefactors & alumni. If you do care about the welfare of others, before you donate, do check how your chosen #UKHE charity is treating their staff.

The story across UK Universities 👇🏽 Cuts to frontline student-facing roles and increases to top heavy corporate levels to "manage" the decline. The senior management class extracting as much wealth out of a collapsing sector as possible before there is nothing left...😡

Our thoughts about the cuts Queen Mary University of London There's a healthy surplus. Speedy restructures, regression to outsourcing, school mergers, cutting workers, overthrowing robust processes to chase tech hype...all undermine what the university is meant to protect: its own stability & future.

Multimillion land no longer wanted by NHS & DHSC? Queen Mary University of London will buy it! And we were just talking about healthy surpluses and unnecessary cuts that erode workforce morale and weaken the organisation's backbone. This isn’t strategy, it’s contradiction Queen Mary UCU qmul.ac.uk/media/news/202…

We read Financial Times that Queen Mary University of London hopes to redevelop the land with external partners (estimated cost £750m). In order to attract funding one needs organisational stability and good reputation. Following all these cuts happening now staff are actually concerned we're facing ➡️implosion⬅️

£77 million and millions to maintain these plots of land and dilapidated buildings as we wait for investors to be interested in a £750 million project with a university executive that can’t fill middle management posts or see through the restoration of patrimony on another campus

Over-resourcing top structures to transform Queen Mary University of London by under-resourcing front-line services and teaching ? It won't work. The operational integrity of the place depends on the jobs you're cutting while preserving executive pay and governance structures that don't see the risks.
