They’ve been doing it for years, lowest paid cleaners, catering staff, janitors, security staff, as well as staff such as library assistants have been treated the worst through years of austerity & cuts

A real kick in the teeth for lowest paid staff @UofGlasgow Covid bonus £600 awarded to highest paid staff on £68-100k is 2.4 times more than bonus of £250 for lowest paid on average of £18k who struggled the most- sad, disrespectful & insulting to them🙈

I raised it at my first court meeting in 2017 as Rector that I was the only person of colour on the university court, of course now there are none, didn’t need an investigation to tell them they were all white at court & Senior management 🙈 – at Glasgow, Scotland

This is an important win for collective student campaigning. #StudentsDeserveBetter
We’ve announced that overseas students in our universities & colleges can now access the latest student hardship funds. Many face #COVID19 challenges & this will build on institutions’ existing support from own resources. @uni_scot @CollegesScot @NUSScotland @ScotFundCouncil

This is the man with whom the University of Glasgow's decision to invest in the arms trade resides. His claims of anti-racism are hollow, and his mention of the 'mechanisms and processes which produce' racism is a box ticking exercise. You can't be anti-racist arms investors.

The official UofG student body advertising private landlords here. Who do you represent? We were told by the SRC that they were already doing all things a tenants union could do - they are certainly doing a good job at proving their own worthlessness.

Women, a message from the government: stay home, save lives, mind the kids, cook tea, finish the ironing, and remember to stay pretty for your man 💁‍♀️💫 Not that we needed it confirming, but sexism alive and well, and being signed off for government public health adverts.
