    Allow us to rephrase, without the academic twat-speak: HE and the graduate labour market are created by - and for - a few "elite" universities and their white, affluent, able, male students. Most of them - unis or men - don't seem to give a flying fuck about anybody else.

    Rather than strike from teaching (which only impacts students not the institution) we should: 1. Withdraw all outputs from REF2021 2. Stop attendance monitoring. 3. Refuse all admin 4. Disrupt any meetings. 5. No reviewing 6. Disrupt NSS 7. Disrupt senior management operations

    1) If you care about the student experience, hire administrators and put them close to the students. Pay them well. 2) Ditto for staff. Get 1 or 2 ppl to know the weird travel booking system well, they do it for everyone else. 3) Hire more staff on long-term (5+yr) contracts.

    If you have three white men on your three-person panel, switching one of them out for a white woman isn't quite the right answer, y'know...

    What can we do to bring universities to a grinding halt without dumping the work on those unable to strike, and which doesn't hit students? Withdraw all voluntary labour, including reviewing, external examining... What else?

    For university managers, keeping academic staff up to the mark can be stressful. Academic Performance plc now offers the perfect solution. The Big Board is a real-time citation tracker with all your favourites on public display: h-index, i10 and many more

    What does “sector leading” mean? Being a good institution in a human sense and performing well in metrics often exist in an irreconcilable tension. Spoiler: If you're a 'world class' institution, you're a world class arsehole. via

    HE employers completely disingenuous about what they can afford: the largest surplus ever, made on the backs of workforce with worst conditions *ever* in the sector So, any disruption of eduction that will happen is on them = their choice & their priorities ✊🏽✊🏾

    UK University income is higher than ever, but staff pay is falling in real terms and pension contributions rising. Proportional spend on staff has dropped and is substantially lower than USA, Canada, Australia. 🚨So don't claim that staff are unaffordable🚨

    Just a reminder that Universities can absolutely afford to meet the pay claim. Thoroughly recommend digging in to your Uni’s financial statements to help make this argument. has a great Youtube video stepping through this.

    It’s almost as if certain universities don’t care about students or higher education in general, and are happy to spend existing students’ fees on bribes while good courses like mine wither on the vine because it lacks cloisters or something.
