“Goldsmiths needs to build on its strengths not cut itself off at the knees”
We couldn’t agree more! Powerful words of solidarity against these senseless cuts from openDemocracy co-founder @AnthonyBarnett 💪

Current plans to reduce staffing in the historic @SociologyGold by as much as *HALF* risk “reducing it to a corpse fit only for autopsy.”
Damning words of solidarity from Professor Les Back @AcademicDiary 🙏

Goldsmiths’ managers are counting on our fatigue and our apathy.
But no such luck — the sunshine is on our side and we’ll be here as long as it takes! #NotADoneDeal

sending so much solidarity to @goldsmithsucu! You're defending and fostering what Goldsmiths is, and something which your management should help in taking care of, not destroy.
18 Jun 2024
Join us on the picket line this morning from 9am and for the rally at 12pm. No unnecessary & harmful compulsory redundancies. No disproportionate punitive deductions.

📣 Students don’t come to @GoldsmithsUoL to become robots.
Nor accountants.
Nor management consultants.
They come to learn, to think, to fight.
Listen to @MichaelRosenYes - he knows the score ⬇️

ALT A flyer for the Goldsmiths UCU Strike Rally. The flyer is washed-out pink with a photocopied image of the back of the Richard Hoggart Building (RHB) in black. The flyer states that the rally will be on Tuesday 18/06 at 12pm outside RHB with speeches by Goldsmiths 4 Palestine, Students Against the Transformation Programme, Black Lives Matter UK, UCU and NEU branches, and Goldsmiths Professor Michael Rosen. In the top-left corner of the flyer, hand-written in red, it reads: "there is no Goldsmiths without the workers." The words "no" and "workers" are underlined.

The institutional violence inflicted AGAIN by @GoldsmithsUoL on staff from 11/19 depts inc my own, @SociologyGold, is highly discriminatory esp towards women from marginalised groups: 54.9% BAME women & 47.8% BAME men are in the pool for redundancy @GoldsmithsUCU

Senior management @GoldsmithsUoL are counting on our exhaustion.
They want us to think these redundancies are a forgone conclusion.
But we know it’s #NotADoneDeal!

Goldsmiths is a vibrant hub of brilliant scholars. I am always in awe of the thoughtful & exciting work that comes out of an institution that still shines, despite all that the leadership has done to tarnish it. The staff are what's great about Goldsmiths, & it is #notadonedeal

In the infinite revolving door of hack managers devastating the fabric of @GoldsmithsUoL the latest cast of clowns are pursuing layoffs on an industrial scale: 130 roles across 11 depts. @goldsmithsucu are fighting back.
Show your support for the comrades!

As an alumni of @GoldsmithsUoL I’m utterly appalled at their managements decision to slash the jobs and destroy the livelihoods of so many colleagues and destroy what’s left of a wonderful arts and humanities school. @GoldsmithsUCU

A beautiful sight on New Cross Road - why do @GoldsmithsUoL senior management team keep running away from meetings? A sorry state of affairs when you are terrified of being accountable to the staff and students of the University you are stewarding. #NotaDoneDeal @GoldsmithsUCU

Incredibly important letter from our colleagues in Gaza
“We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again” ✊🇵🇸
29 May 2024
📣Urgent call from Gaza academics and staff to resist the ongoing campaign of scholasticide, support the rebuilding of demolished universities, and “refuse all plans seeking to bypass, erase, or weaken the integrity of our academic institutions.”

It's not us, as academic staff @GoldsmithsUoL who should be pleading for our jobs in another disastrous restructure that makes no sense & will result in over 132 of us lose our jobs. It is SMT who should be pleading for their jobs instead
