    The Poisonous Euros Atmosphere Fan Retweeted Dr Vanessa

    I used to work in a university, and had to oversee a system (alone) where I helped students submit convoluted forms and gather evidence for ‘extenuating circumstances’ forms for 20,000+ students with mountains of evidence that were still usually rejectedhttps://twitter.com/HPS_Vanessa/status/1247404953930522624 …

    PSA that in the UK university system individual academics are not able to offer deadline extensions. A module leader almost never has the authority to tell a student 'you can hand in a week late'. I know its different in the USA & I think ppl are getting the wrong impression.

        These included students who missed deadlines because their kids were hospitalised, they were wrongfully arrested, or suddenly evicted. Genuinely stupid, discriminatory bymureacratic system.

        That’s our system too. Absolutely out of academic hands and the evidence requirements are astonishing. Signs that it’s changing now though.

        Things are changing - @AberUni has waived the requirement for special circumstance evidence and is permitting resits for full marks this semester

        My uni (Teesside) has put in place a ‘no detriment policy’, where you are guaranteed your average grade from the previous semester, so long as you pass. So iv actually had the luckiest escape from organic chemistry in the history of organic chemistry.

        No evidence required for any “mitigating circumstances” at Birkbeck at present.

        At the same time, my university has a Fb group where staff are regularly praising the employer in an over the top & extremely odd way. Those who dare to post anything about @ucu, precarity, solidarity etc have their posts deleted for not being curteous 🤦🏼‍♀️https://twitter.com/francisclarke/status/1247435423225389058?s=21 …

        Questions to the VC (who apparently has an ‘account’ -with no photo- that posts in the group sometimes) about how precarious staff and workers could be helped in during the pandemic are also deemed to be violating the rules of the group. https://twitter.com/tomcutterham/status/1244687813590777858?s=21 … #coronacontract
