Another day in Uni sector. South Bank Uni, per UCU, announces 297 jobs at risk, including senior staff.
This is a Uni that serves some of least advantaged in UK. How is 'good' that these places are being decimated by deliberate Rishi Sunak Robert Jenrick policy? Beats me.
Nearly 300 staff face the sack at London South Bank University
These cuts would leave the institution a shell of its former self and totally hollow out the university's capacity to teach and support students

OUT NOW: Policy Connect and the Skills Commission’s latest report! #Skills 2030 sets out a vision for reforming the #Skills system in England over the next Parliament, with the goal of building a world-class #Skills System by 2030. Read here: policyconnect.org.uk/research/skill….
UCU is pleased to have submitted evidence to Policy Connect as part of the development of this report & welcomes its recommendations
It's time for a fundamental review of skills policy & funding, and a new national settlement for further education staff
Anything less is simply
“The morale is extraordinarily low'
Our members speak 👇📢
With course closures climbing and rampant redundancy schemes higher education is in crisis.
