What’s happening at Coventry University should concern EVERYONE working in UK higher education.
2,788 TUPE transfers in three years. Repeated restructures and redundancies. Academic work moved into subsidiaries. Collective agreements eroded. Trade union recognition fragmented.
We wrote about what has been happening at Coventry – because this isn't just about one university.
In a sector in crisis. The “Coventry Way” offers a warning of what the future of UK higher education could look like:
Keep the students.
Keep the courses.
Keep the buildings.
Keep the brand.
Move the workers.
Coventry is the canary in the coalmine.

University of Brighton management has given notice to terminate its recognition agreement with UCU alongside collective agreements covering key terms and conditions.
This isn't just about Brighton. What happens here could have implications for branches across the UK.
Hear from Ryan at Brighton UCU on what's happening and why the branch needs our solidarity.
