"Educators matter more than ever. There is a reason why fascists and authoritarians target academics. Because they understand your power." @chilledasad100 Asad Rehman, CEO of Friends of the Earth UK, received a roaring applause as he delivered the keynote at UCU Congress 2026.

An image featuring a dramatic sunset over an Australian outback landscape with a single, silhouette-like tree in the center. The ground is reddish dirt with sparse, dry grass. The sky transitions from orange near the horizon to deep blue above, filled with soft clouds. At the top center, two circular icons representing the European Union and Australian flags are intertwined, positioned above the bold white text "EU-AUSTRALIA" and the smaller subtitle "HORIZON EUROPE".

“No redundancies ever again." That's the message from students and staff at Goldsmiths today. This is the third round of cuts in five years. Hundreds of jobs are at risk. Staff taking lawful industrial action have been hit with 100% pay deductions. Enough is enough. #NoRedundanciesEverAgain #Goldsmiths #UCU

Genuine question: How can universities brag about "widening participation" if they close their language departments?... You can't SELECTIVELY "widen" participation!

I got through a bit of this report, written by prominent philosophers about the “decline of the humanities.” Everyone on this report is smarter than I am, yet none of them seems to understand what it’s been like to navigate the academy since the late 1990s.higheredstatementofprinciple…

“Respecting” the result of a referendum held 10 years ago, when it’s increasingly clear that it was won on the basis of a pack of lies and that Brexit is doing massive damage to Britain’s economy, status & influence in the world, is a total abdication of responsibility.

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰 Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk. This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media. Because free press is the foundation of democracy.
