Breaking news – Redundancy notice (Section 188) removed The University of Dundee has confirmed that the section 188 letter issued in March 2025 has been formally withdrawn! This is a direct result of the industrial action we took and the action we threatened. This is our victory! 1/3

Bizarre statement @ucu.org.uk. For 6️⃣ years you refused to work with us to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK HE. As this policy extend to other areas, instead, you capitulate to the very neoliberal, marketised dynamics that harms migrant students & all staff alike. 🧵

Also an excuse to re-share @pmdfoster.bsky.social’s brilliant piece which takes Essex as a case through which to discuss the transformation of #UKHE: built in the 1960s to transform the region and society, and now transformed beyond recognition through marketisation and governmental neglect.

Well, well, well. When we added Essex to the list of universities making redundancies *& restructures* we got a pissy email from their marketing department saying that they weren’t firing people and therefore shouldn’t be there — though they were overturning what it means to work in #UKHE. Look now.
