So. @UKRI_News has responded to @mark_pendleton’s open letter after about two weeks. They addressed it to the @ucu, which is an interesting move. It’s either incompetence, trying to reduce a widespread outcry as an action of ‘those extreme unionists’ or... https://twitter.com/pandemicpgrs/status/1334830937050411009
They’re using clever tactics to not engage. https://twitter.com/bmatb/status/1334857835147112449
When their mistake was pointed out, the UKRI released a correction addressed to Mark Pendleton and introduced a brand new mistake. This time they got the date of a Guardian article that publicised the open letter wrong. How is this a serious organisation?? https://twitter.com/mark_pendleton/status/1334890214288990209
Anyway, here’s a good thread about the travesty that is the contents of the UKRI’s response: https://twitter.com/thegatesofmel/status/1334841031473459201
And a heart breaking perspective on how dismissive of disabled students this whole fiasco has been.

We deserve and need better than this.
