Thankfully the university of Cumbria has figured out how to massively increase management spending in a way that avoids Newcastle’s rookie mistakes. #sarcasm with you, for you, UCU

Live scenes from the HEA sector in general, but the University of Cumbria in particular. 5 new pro vice chancellors, 1 new director & new head of post. Alongside 20+ redundancies & a recruitment freeze for teaching staff. @ucu.org.uk

UK HE shrinking
This is a live page of all the redundancies, restructures, reorganisations, and closures taking place across the sector at the moment. Solidarity to all. This sector is vital to the country’s…
Scholars are doing some modelling of the redundancy programmes in #UKHE and are curious about previous ones.
We've added *some* history, but that is far from exhaustive. Could people help linking to other historic redundancy programmes, dating back to 2000?

To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
