New out of office: 'Thank you for your email. Please note, I have been made #redundant for the 3rd time in less than 5yrs by Goldsmiths, University of London. I am therefore unable to respond to student queries...' Appeal submitted! With support of Goldsmiths UCU #PermanentlyPrecarious #Precarity

Unbelievable! Dr Fauzia Ahmad was issued a permanent contract in Oct ‘21, explicitly citing continuous service, and without good reason, Goldsmiths, University of London has revoked her permanency. This is a compulsory redundancy and goes against the deal we just signed with Goldsmiths, University of London

UCU We're spoilt for choice! Biggest obscenity has to be #TaxiGate when "green warrior" Frances Corner spent nearly £20k of College money on taxis in a space of 2 years. She then claimed her conscience was clear as she donates to eco charities 😂 x.com/GoldsmithsUCU/…

Enough is enough. We are calling for an Emergency Student Forum. Join your sabbatical officers to discuss and take action on horrendous College failures from results and enrolment to compensations. Monday 26 Sept 2022 11am, Outside RHB

To our students 💕. First of all THANK YOU for your steadfast support and solidarity with us. Goldsmiths SU has produced a brilliant source of information for you about what these strikes are all about: x.com/GoldsmithsSU/s… Here is some additional info from us. More to follow:

TW: POLICE VIOLENCE Today we were assaulted by campus police. Despite multiple pleas from students and opposition from several societies, yesterday we were informed that the zionist settler FoR UK event was taking place on campus at Scarman. (1/4)

🧐check this out!

College is emailing students to remind them of the deadline to accept their claim. Wording of said email doesn't mention complaints status, or that students will still be eligible for their award if their complaint is unsuccessful past the current deadline (1/4)

Students in need or or wishing to accept their offer should 100% do so, but to be clear, if you have made a complaint you do not need to accept this offer now. It will be there for you later. (4/4)

Day one of #UCUstrike with Goldsmiths UCU - big love to everyone who helped us run solidarity kitchen and bring together a picket community with food. The prep started early & the table kept growing 💜💜 #ucuRISING

Tomorrow's picket schedule at Goldsmiths UCU picket line... #UCUstrike #ucuRISING

Indefinite strike has been announced by UCU, so you can 100% expect to see responses like in this thread. Don't let ppl get away with it, call it out. Ask yourself, have these ppl done anything to support casual staff, students and international workers in non-strike time?

"We live with the insecurities which allow the university to maintain its financial flexibility – the least the university can do is pay us on time when we do our job." Precarious staff Goldsmiths, University of London have had enough.

Reflections and advice on marking and assessment boycott from Goldsmiths UCU activists. Please circulate to members in your branch.

UCU Here is the extract from the latest Goldsmiths University annual report that shows that the Warden picked up a huge £246,000 - that’ll do nicely #SE14 #PovertyPay

NEW VID! “The idea of hegemony is not like a conspiracy theory … There is no guarantee that attempts to maintain hegemony will be successful” My second Keywords explainer video on the crucial concept of hegemony is out! Taster below, full video tinyurl.com/keywordheg🧵(1/4)

I have two masters degrees from top British unis, including one that won a prestigious award. I’ve lived here for years. My visa is up in two years and I won’t qualify under these rules. I feel sick to my stomach right now. After everything I’ve done, it’s still not enough.
