Israel has systematically destroyed the Palestinian education system in its war on Gaza, bombing every university in the strip. It’s our duty as educators to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Listen to the inspiring words of our member @RafeefZiadah:

BREAKING: @HeriotWattUni & HWUCU have come together to make a joint statement calling UCEA & UCU to return to negotiations without preconditions on either side. Adding to institutions + branches, together, already calling for talks. We hope it encourages others to do the same.

If anyone is interested in equivalent figures for your @UCU branch or region, let me know. Just wave 👋 hello.
The Exeter @UCU Committee carried out an analysis of the UKHE sector finances and of our own institution, with thanks to @westbynoreaster. We call on members of the UCU’s HEC, who are meeting today, to take this into account. (a🧵)

Hi @StirUni, why did you cut my brother from the graduation video for respectfully showing solidarity with his professors' strike? I was in the audience & can confirm he stepped on the stage. Your representatives' speeches mentioned values that you do not seem to uphold. #shame
Eeeek @StirUni looks like a wee editing goblin has been at the graduation videos from yesterday and at about 49:00 you’ve “dropped” a clip of a graduating student! Luckily we’ve got an unedited version here for anyone who doesn’t want to watch the #stirgrad director’s cut:

This is beyond the pale. @UWEBristol are offering casual, zero hour contracts to mark the assignments of staff involved in the MAB. Instead of attacking your own staff and offering these disgraceful contracts, call on @UCEA1 to re-negotiate! #ucuRISING

Unlike Nigel, we 🖤 @emmadesaram
Emma, 22, has been spoon-fed this rubbish by a left wing education system that 13 years of Tory rule could have put a stop to. What have the Conservatives been doing?

Today @UniofExeter joined the list of HEIs that have called for the resumption of talks between @UCU and @UCEA. The effects of the significant Exeter UCU branch participation in the MAB became clear during the exam boards last week. 1/3

Senior management have also called for a national, sector-wide plan that addresses long term inflationary pressure on wages. All concerned hope that this can help break the deadlock in national talks. 3/3
