The latest cut to arts funding is yet another assault on higher education.
The creative arts is becoming the preserve of the rich, while the working class get shut out.
We need full levels of subject support reinstated.

We have today written to the university employer body UUK calling on them to review their UK-Israel research partnership scheme – in line with legal and ethical obligations to avoid any complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Employee assistance schemes just try to mask bad boss behaviour.
We ended @EquityUK’s (little used) contract with Health Assured in 2021 for that reason

Northumbria is a massive university success story that does not match its business model. If the latter rather than the former is valued, the seemingly inevitable happens as UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT BUSINESSES. 😬
Solidarity with all staff @UCUNbranch This should not be happening.
Whatever happened to 'the University of the Year'?

UK workers must accept lower pay deals to help beat inflation, says £375k a year Bank of England Deputy Governor.
Silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.
Average wage unchanged since 2006. Millions already in poverty.
It is class war.

I have this afternoon authorised a series of strikes & other action at the English National Opera.
Cuts in pay, job losses- it’s shows who the bosses think opera is for.
@EquityUK is clear: opera is for everyone, & the workplace must be open to all.
#FairWageOnStage
💥The turnout among ENO chorus members was 94.11%
💥100% voted ‘yes’ to take action short of a strike
💥100% voted ’yes’ to full strike action

I have just resigned from the @ESRC @UKRI_News peer review committee and refused to review a grant proposal. See @ucu call. The ones who will suffer the most are my peers doing amazing job. But we need to restore some integrity and push back on gov interference
🚨URGENT UKRI UPDATE
On Wednesday we gave @UKRI_News 48hrs to reverse the suspension of its Equality, Diversity & Inclusion panel.
It has not done so.
We are therefore calling on all UCU members with any voluntary positions at UKRI to resign.
Post below once you've resigned.
