Last year we ran a survey on UK HE redundancies.
Based on 349 responses, the UNIVERSITIES DEGRADED REPORT uncovers awful conditions, targeting of marginalised groups, & far more cuts than estimated.

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.
The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.
We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

Trans women have always coexisted amongst the rest of society.
The narrative that the Supreme Court ruling is about women being unsafe due to trans women is misleading. There is no data which proves trans women pose a safety threat to women. It is a media narrative and it is false.

The Scottish TUC is warning of more redundancies at three more Scottish universities - Glasgow, Robert Gordon and Strathclyde. At this level of funding, and with this structure, the Scottish Higher Ed system is basically holed below the waterline.

Ministers urged to 'up their game' to help Scotland's struggling universities
The warning comes amid plans to cut jobs at Dundee University, as well as the prospect of cuts at both Glasgow University and Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.
