Our VC celebrates University Alliance Lifetime Achievement nomination for CU's transformation to a “dynamic, future-focused group structure”. That's 2,788 staff subsidiarised on worse ts & cs in 3 yrs, hundreds of redundancies, collective bargaining and national agreements broken. Aye. Quite the achievement. Perhaps before celebrating “visionary leadership”, we should ask the people who have actually suffered through that vision. #UCU

Scotland's universities are cutting hundreds of jobs. Four VCs took home £3.2m in two years. Make it make sense. Support university staff fighting for jobs.

48 days until the Holyrood elections We await clarification from @JohnSwinney @AnasSarwar @Ross_Greer @agcolehamilton @RussellFindlay1 on how they plan to save jobs, protect education and ensure that fair work principles are honoured. We look forward to hearing their plans.

Solidarity with staff! ✊ NUS Scotland stands with those striking across the country. The job loss crisis in our universities is the result of a decade of underinvestment. Without job security for workers, students won't thrive. The Scottish Government must act.
