£77.5m spent. £14m back.
The VC behind it traded up to Leeds and a £330k salary.
The staff left behind are being told to pay with their jobs. That's why we're on strike at Nottingham.

Nottingham was 6th for modern languages in the 2021 REF and is the only university in East Midlands providing language courses. The closure of an objectively brilliant department by a Russell Group university raises questions about the 2015 decision to uncap student numbers and leave UK HE provision entirely to market forces timeshighereducation.com/new…

Migrant staff put down roots, build lives and make an enormous contribution to our universities and communities.
Their right to remain should not be treated as a political football.

Universities don’t go bankrupt in isolation
When student numbers fall & a university cuts back, the shock spreads through the city: halls, landlords, shops, cafés, contractors, transport & local jobs
Dundee’s student-housing collapse is a warning

“Management calls it change. We call it making staff and students pay the price.”
University of Brighton management wants longer hours, more working weeks and fundamentally worse conditions for staff.
Now it is trying to rip up UCU’s recognition agreement to force its agenda through.
The entire trade union movement must stand against this attack. BACK DOWN.

The rain didn’t stop us.
Today we stood proud against the University of Brighton’s outrageous threat to derecognise UCU.
We will not let our members’ rights be trampled on.
Like and share to stand with our members and send management a message: BACK DOWN.

“Reform are fuelled by total and utter division.” @DrJoGrady last night on sky.
Anti-LGBT+. Anti-university. Anti-NHS. And now, it seems, anti-veteran.
Division isn’t a side effect of Reform’s politics. It’s the point.
