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…
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…

.Royal Historical Society is deeply concerned by the scale and speed of further #History redundancies Goldsmiths, University of London. These cuts will remove student choice, wreak havoc on careers, and end specialist teaching and research. Our statement: bit.ly/3zO2nAF #twitterstorians 1/5 🧵⬇️
📢 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…
