One day until UCU members at @UniversityLeeds start *indefinite strike action* caused by senior management's mishandling of the dispute over pay, casualisation, workloads and equal pay. The vice chancellor could solve this at any time but is inexplicably choosing not to. 1️⃣⏰🚨🪧

New in @PRQjournal: Even if states are permitted to sell citizenship, private markets for citizenship cannot be legitimately established. And this, I argue, tells us something important about the state's supposed right to exclude and its limits. (1/n) journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

Low pay forcing education staff to use food banks is inexcusable & an indictment on the sector One college recommending food banks calls itself a “responsible employer..doing everything we can to assist” Everything other than paying staff properly theguardian.com/business/202…

In all @ucu actions recently, without doubt the most disheartening element has been the deliberately divisive tactics of HE leadership to pit students against staff. But here students are demonstrating that they independently recognise that we are all on the same side 🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾👏🏾
Solidarity to students! 💜✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 We are glad to hear the VC is meeting with students. We hope the meeting goes well and meaningful talks with staff unions begin.

The compassion for Ukrainian refugees is heart warming. This is how it should be done for all refugees. Unfortunately, it isn't. In other places, people fleeing are beaten after making it over one of Europe's barbed wire fences. Great thread by @daniel_howden
What should we make of Europe's schizophrenic refugee response? In the week we welcomed 1.2m refugees from Ukraine do we really need to watch this young man being battered for climbing an EU border fence? Yes 🧵
