At a time when we should be investing in educators, Cardiff Met wants to lay them off. Disgraceful. Solidarity with @UCUCardiffMet members protesting at Llandaff campus on Thursday at 11.30 am against these unjust redundancies. Enough is enough. nation.cymru/news/protest-pl…

But so is stable staffing in universities
Fewer staff = bigger classes, less individual support time, higher workloads.

It is deeply concerning that Cardiff Met continue to propose Compulsory Redundancies.
Please voice your concerns - They are currently in the consultation period.

UCU have requested that Cardiff Met re-open voluntary severance, or if necessary a VOLUNTARY redundancy programme across the whole university.
Compulsory redundancies are unnecessary and short sighted

K considers the tension between creating an authentic representation of the communities the risk of somehow exposing or making them vulnerable.
Unlike historical ethnographic research contemporary researchers form relationships of reciprocity, trust even friendships.
