Hey you! Do you mayhaps agree #studentsdeservebetter than what UK higher education is handing them? Look no further: @uel_news has it all. Racist and sexist firings of lecturers, union busting @uelucu, defunding humanities & critical thinking... #justuelthings #saveuel
@uel_news is firing lecturers. They are women over 50, Jewish women, Asian people, older workers and @uelucu union reps. they are making up less than 40k. our new ceremonial mace costs 22k. but they are being fired anyway #justuelthings #saveuel
Lecturers were told with an email on Friday at 5pm not to teach on Monday. Students were told nothing except there were “adequate provisions”. There are no provisions. We are in the middle of covid and now losing classes #justuelthings
@drwinstonmorgan, from @uel_hsb, predicted this. This is being presented as a state of exception because of covid, but it’s becoming #justuelthings #studentsdeservebetter #saveuel https://bit.ly/2UIwem5
International students are being told that they must pay up or they will be expelled. Again, pandemic anyone??? Some are relying on community organisations to eat. @unisnotborders knows and we know... #justuelthings #studentsdeservebetter #saveuel
These are #justuelthings - depts such as Cultural Studies are already hollowed out. @uel_news CS continued the work of Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy (who supports us) et al when CS Birmingham was closed by Thatcher cuts. History repeats #saveuel
critical thinking used to be #justuelthings. imagine @NewhamLondon students coming out of uni with sharper tools to bring down the establishment. @profbroderick @AnulikaAjufo come from marketing and finance #SaveUEL #studentsdeservebetter
filmmaker & union rep @jilldaniel fired, English and Creative Writing cut. it's like @profbroderick @anulikaajufo and the board don't think @NewhamLondon students deserve art&lit ed, despite future employability prospects such as Dagenham studios #saveuel #savethehumanities
instead, we get Oil Management MSc partnership with BP – other unis are going #fossilfree; we are preparing for jobs that should be obsolete – and a Centre of Excellence for Policing w the MET, who has a 40% BAME officers target for 2022 #justuelthings https://bit.ly/2UJVsjW
today, @uel_news Social Sciences dept engages politically, w/community, w/ decoloniality, w/ refugees etc. among other academics @gargi_at_home, also a union rep, and @corinnesquire, legend of narrative research, work there. no wonder it's under attack #StudentsDeserveBetter
@susanjhalford, President of the British Association of Sociologist, has written twice with no reply. Don’t worry Susan, @profbroderick et al are not replying to the piles of staff and student complaints either #justuelthings #studentsdeservebetter http://ow.ly/vKBe50CiMha
academics such as @bungatuffie (Paul Gilroy), @NadineElEnany and @AcademicDiary (Les Back), legends of games like @betterthemask (Meghna Jayanth)... support goes far and wide and it's solid and intersectional folks. #justuelthings too! this is what we deserve #SaveUEL
The community is behind us. We have @hackneyabbott, Mayor of @newhamlondon @rokhsanafiaz, @zarahsultana

@ProfBroderick @AnulikaAjufo ? #StudentsDeserveBetter
