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 🙏

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 ⬇️

Solidarity with our amazing Glasgow comrades today! 🍉
Today’s the day; time to divest!
Our brave students are the conscience of the university. So many staff stand by them. But today, the student mvmt needs more than tacit support
Let’s see a huge vocal turnout & end this now!
Speeches from GAAF, PalSoc, UCU & @GhassanAbuSitt1 🍉

And we're fighting because we believe in the ethos of this place.
We wish @FCorner and the SMT understood this and felt the same way.

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.

If you are coming to the Goldsmiths art degree shows, you must visit this in ‘Laurie Groove Baths’.
