The cover-up, the gaslighting, the unaccountability and refusal of transparency. Universities paralleling post office management behaviours and have been for years ....

"As regards research, the overall ranking will stand even if staff leave, and will not be reassessed until 2028." (Quote from a letter to students). So they're using the ranking current staff have earned as a cover up for appalling mismanagement whilst sacking those same staff.

Yep. That might have been a great idea.

Senior managers in UK HE weaponising time #3073: relying on this cohort of students being gone by then and the one in 2028 not knowing which brilliant academics they lost out on #3074: hiding behind 5 year ranking

So, @Oxford_Brookes launched a centre for war research in collaboration with NATO just three weeks before announcing 40% staff cuts across the humanities. Coincidence? We think not. This is not the behaviour of a university in financial crisis. buff.ly/41WLY6X

Uni governance reform should be the sector's #1 priority, but the sector is led by the very people with an incentive to say that unis simply need more money and who personally have made fortunes off the failing status quo.

Now it seems that vanity projects are the least of our concern. Launching a new centre for war studies just before announcing 40% staff cuts to humanities... that's not the behaviour of a university in financial crisis Oxford Brookes University #saveourlecturers #oxfordbrookesuniversity

Sue McBean Stuart Whigham Save Our Lecturers Thank you! We will have another meeting on 26 January. And we will communicate by email before then. Hope to see you there!

The consultation period with Oxford Brookes University Management has come to a close – officially ending on Wed 17 Jan. We summarise where the negotiating team believes things stand, following the period of formal consultation, and outlines our expectations and plans moving forward. 1/

In coming days the fate of many people at Oxford Brookes University is being decided. We want to reiterate how unjustified compulsory redundancies would be & how devastating this would be to what our university needs. Please listen to us and to proposals by those affected! #stoptheSHAMcuts

A peaceful sit-in is to be staged by students every lunchtime next week, as part of the ‘Save Our Lecturers’ campaign. Oxford Brookes UCU says the redundancies are based on “spurious long-term predictions”. x.com/brookesucu/sta…
