“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
Amanda Kipling retweeted
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.

📣 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
#NotADoneDeal
📢CALL TO ACTION:
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!
Use the hashtag #NotADoneDeal to let them know that you will help us fight until the end!💪

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

📢 Massive thanks to the legendary Professor Paul Gilroy @bungatuffie for his solidarity:
"The butchering of @GoldsmithsUoL by inept management and cack-handed consultants provides a dismal example of the deterioration of UK Higher Education."

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” ✊🇵🇸
📣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

One of the brilliant sociology students occupying Deptford Town Hall 💥
📣Good morning:
Deptford Town Hall’s Council Chamber is NOW OCCUPIED because SMT refuse to stop the unnecessary cull of jobs as part of a move to destroy the arts and humanities.
Listen to this @GoldsmithsUoL student's call for direct action and solidarity!
