BROKEN - word for how we feel this week, as we get scored for our jobs in @SociologyGold + 10 other departments.
Now we have very different diaries of living with the shock created to our collective, bodies and psychic states by the creation of a 'crisis' by management, depletion through restructure 1 and a hostile environment.
horrendous situation of disregard from on high, when the students and colleagues are saying no, no, no...

A wonderful connecting audience @jaagcollective yesterday, for dementia and music. It always takes me a while to tune back into this urgent way of Striking a Chord, with @maiopatti

Thoughts of solidarity with friends and colleagues at goldsmiths this week as they await the outcome of this hatchet job.
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 🙏
#NotADoneDeal @GoldsmithsUoL

A key justification for sacking 130+ staff @GoldsmithsUoL is that staff costs are way above the sector average that the College insists is 43% acc to HESA. Except that HESA says the average is 51%. Management wouldn't want to exaggerate would they? @goldsmithsucu #NotADoneDeal

The students vote of no confidence in the Warden and SMT at @GoldsmithsUoL
And still they choose not to speak to staff or students about alternatives.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Students and staff agree: Frances Corner has got to go!
The results are in, and 98.91% OF STUDENTS at Goldsmiths have no confidence in the Warden or her Senior Management Team (SMT). This follows two previous votes of no confidence in Frances Corner by staff during her tenure.

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

📣 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 ⬇️
