The VC is responsible for SHU’s strategic vision and finances: profiles.shu.ac.uk/9998-liz-mos... Our members have questions about that vision: ucuhallam.org/sheffield-ha... #SaveSheffieldHallam @timeshighered.bsky.social sky.social @ukhenews.bsky.social sky.social @thestar.co.uk k @ucu.org.uk
The proposed subco is a stalking horse: SHU claims savings by shifting staff from TPS to LGPS, risking worse terms and division. With TPS rates likely to fall, the case is weak: timeshighereducation.com/news/univers... #SaveSheffieldHallam
Day 3 of our strike. A rest day for pickets—but here’s why we’re out: UCUHallam wins landmark ballot over 130 job cuts and plans to move staff into a subsidiary (private company). #SaveSheffieldHallam ucuhallam.org

Here we go again! @UCU members are having to hold yet another industrial action ballot as managers @sheffhallamuni propose even more cuts. The local @UCUHallam branch held a rally this week to make people aware of the issues that staff are facing. pic.twitter.com/GzJPbZYywx

Here's detail from the thread about our dispute: Aug 2025-New City campus buildings open while SHU fails to secure a teaching partner for the London campus. These projects reflect a pattern of ill‑advised building priorities, favouring real estate over staff and students #SaveSheffieldHallam #HE
Our strike is about job losses & changes to make savings that will help 'balance the books' at SHU. Branch has shown that savings can come from capital spend (buildings) but it also has questions about the broader priorities of our VC.
