Omg free speech in this country is a complete fiction now
3 Oct 2023
This is not a great look for the party of free speech. I’ve seen heckling in my time and I am not sure this meets the threshold

OCCUPATION UPDATE: peaceful protesters were fenced into Pavillion Parade yesterday. Once again this is a disgusting way to act towards students. Solidarity to our legendary occupiers ✊

Indeed please enquire @guardian why @uniofbrighton are sacking 22 staff with excellent research and teaching records!!
9 Sep 2023
Much of what makes Brighton great is its staff and unique teaching. Plus you waited till the end of term, after the NSS to sack the staff, because you knew it would otherwise impact your ratings.

Interesting.
The @uniofbrighton say initially they believed they could sack over 100 staff without impacting PGRs at all.
How incompetent do you have to be to say this? Most likely lying from the start and just didn't care.

Shame on you @uniofbrighton
The peopl @uniofbrighton are slinging out have names, faces, families, and bills. They all also, it is increasingly clear, have made significant contributions to their field. They would be an asset to any university that took itself seriousl.
