Let us hear and speak about international students as people. One of the most disgusting and vile things I've ever seen is how they're argued over like they're abstract numbers, with pound signs over their heads. Why don't we listen to them for a change? ft.com/content/94150b…

Goldsmiths is seriously under threat, as are various other arts and humanities institutions. Our SMT is proposing 133 academic redundancies. Join the fight to resist - please retweet. #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths, University of London Goldsmiths UCU theguardian.com/education/2024…

It is becoming increasingly obvious that HE management no longer understand the purpose of universities in society. By purpose, I mean why universities still exist after 100s of years. Managers think they are working for a corporation. This has a profound impact on academic value

If Goldsmiths - with a very strong & active union - can get away with sacking nearly 100 people for spurious financial reasons, then I shudder to think about what's next for other universities. Please send messages of support to Goldsmiths UCU & donate to gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmi…

PSA! are you thinking of applying to the Arts Council for Developing Your Creative Practice (or Project Grants) but have access barriers (inc. neurodivergence or poor MH)? the Arts Council will pay me for 1-3 days to support you in making your application!

What the students write here isn’t hyperbole. These two colleagues worked tirelessly for years to build jazz Goldsmiths, University of London into something remarkable & it would be entirely unworkable without them. These are just 2 of 97 redundancies Please sign/share. chng.it/4Zf6y2DybF

When we polled the public, we wanted to know what they thought about NHS privatisation. Even among those who were intending to vote for the Tories, the majority didn’t want private companies involved in the NHS! 😮💙🚨 Please share if you oppose NHS privatisation! 💙💙💙

📢 A few weeks back management at Goldsmiths, University of London went to Guardian Universities to say it would save the Black British Literature course. NOT TRUE. They are “quietly killing” off its master’s degree programmes in both queer and black history. Please share ⤵️ independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
