Chocolate brown sprocker spaniel with white paws. I comment on stuff I care about, including toxic management at Liverpool University and bans on swimming dogs!

Is it by stealing 50% of staff wages for 5 months, despite them working over full-time hours? Is it by allowing USS to threaten to steal 1/3 of their pensions? Is it by sustaining gender, race, and disability pay gaps? Or by keeping junior lecturers on short-term contracts?

Oh dear Tim. I don't think the students are too happy that you've chosen to force a strike in the first week of teaching when you could have very easily chosen not to

Three years of uni to be graduating with no classification because of marking boycott. Thanks UoL for letting conditions get so bad for staff and students 😓
Barti retweeted
Graduating is a privilege I never thought I’d be able to achieve and despite not graduating with a classification I was at least able to take a stand and protest the decisions the uni and UCEA have taken. Universities need to #settlethedispute and renegotiate with @ucu now.

Tim! Gavin! Not sure students were too pleased about the email sent yesterday promising 'provisional' degrees and telling them to attend graduation when they can't graduate 🙃 Not sure students attending the Open Days will be pleased either #SettleTheDispute

Hundreds of students are missing marks at University of Liverpool. The university is refusing to negotiate and docking staff 50% of their wages.
At todays Open Day students have been handing out leaflets to prospective students/parents making them aware of the ongoing dispute.

Imagine thinking 7% (which is probably a gross underestimate) of your students not being able to graduate is something you can brush off like this? Absolutely dreadful 'leadership' #SettleTheDispute
Some Wednesday night lies from the SMT @UniStrathclyde:
Ladz,
Stop with the nonsense and just #SettleTheDispute
#StrathLife

Students are starting to ask why their grades aren’t being returned for recent assignments. We could tell them about the UCU’s marking and assessment boycott and how we caused that. Instead we’ve put yet another tent up in Abercromby Square. Tim’s got shares in Millets.

Uni managers who think they can get away with graduating students with incomplete transcripts should look into what happened here in 2021. It did not go well. There was immense student anger. An accreditation body got involved. Students will not accept sham degrees.

A lot of you have been writing in to ask about the handover between Janet and Tim. What took place - you want to know - what things were said? Did she tell him where the bodies are hidden?

Might need a #pawtition against this nonsense. No problem with most of it, but a swimming ban is asking for #caninedisorder. I need to swim. I am built to swim.

Staff in the most impacted area have just been offered a new course actually called ‘Turn Towards Uncertainty’. You could not make up #HE in the UK right now. #stopthecutsUoW

Janet as ever, denying these strikes are anything to do with her, and there being nothing she can do to help resolve them. All this, despite having led UUK into this position in the first place when she was president. Please don’t blame Janet. Here’s a poem about some weather.
