Oh look! Our Interim Principal is modelling lying for a living. At the risk of cutting his employees’ living.

Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today!

In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%.

Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

Let’s call a spade a spade. Or as they say in Armenian Β«ΤΎΥΈΦ‚ΥΌ ΥΆΥ½ΥΏΥ«ΥΆΦ„, Υ·Υ«ΥΏΥ‘Υ― Υ­Φ…Υ½Υ«ΥΆΦ„Β»Φ‰ (let’s sit crookedly, but speak straight)

Our Union rejects the latest so-called recovery plan.

August 4, 2025, five years after the Beirut Port explosion.

Questions about justice fill social media today, statements about never forgetting, never forgiving. But the problem is that we still don’t have all the answers about why this non-nuclear explosion occurred…

*sounds the "that was probably AI generated information, that's why you can't find it and now at least 2 library staff have had to do first an initial and then a cross check of that information to confirm it doesn't exist so yes, we've had double time wasted by your time saving efforts" klaxon*

Letter from Ernst and Young LLP to the Court of the University of Dundee

We are extremely concerned by the letter from Ernst and Young, auditors at the University of Dundee.

The letter suggests that executives submitted inaccurate responses during the auditing process.

At yesterday’s Townhall with Professor Pamela Gillies and BDO, she mentioned that Alan Langlands taskforce would pave the way forward, including new procedures to appoint senior managers.

Due to the exclusion of Dundee UCU from the taskforce there will be no academic voice or input. Disgraceful.

Former Dundee University bosses including Iain Gillespie agree to Holyrood grilling MSPs will likely question the former principal and four others after Holyrood's Easter break this month.

The former Principal of the University of Dundee will now attend an evidence session at the Scottish Parliament's Education Committee after the 20 April.

Cory Booker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.

β€” In 2019, he backed anti-BDS legislation
β€” In 2019, he told AIPAC: β€œIf I forget thee, O Israel…”
β€” In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab statesβ€”at Palestinians' expense

EXCLUSIVE: Dundee University chiefs could be FORCED to attend Holyrood grilling Holyrood’s powerful education committee is taking advice on using a legal power for the first time to compel people to attend in person.

For the first time ever, the Scottish Parliament is considering compelling witnesses to attend a meeting of one of its committees.

These are clearly unprecedented times, caused by the executive leadership at the University of Dundee.

As we all knew before they got elected. Labour would just be a slightly lighter version of the Tories. Favouring big business and the wealthy.
