NEW: UCU vows to fight devastating cuts at Staffordshire Uni

Staffs Uni takes in over £150m each year, less than half of that is spent on staff.

Yet now management wants to cull over 1 in 10 academic jobs.

We will fight these cuts!

Read this brilliant thread to understand the economic shenanigans which led to the government excluding millions of people from access to Covid vaccine boosters this winter, and simply throwing vaccines into the bin.
