We're starting day 4 of the strike with Jack the cat's full support. He also says that this is a manufactured crisis because there is no deficit at the University of Edinburgh. Clever cat.

#CatsAgainstCasualisation alive and kicking! Sure, there's pressure on the sector. But it's time our bosses stopped seeing staff as the 'problem' to be solved (/ gotten rid off...) rather than any university's core. Much solidarity to @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social!

*really not funny at all. Those loans these managers are taking on bind universities to a high cash reserve (hundreds of millions) for years, leading to more cutting in running cost just to meet the covenant. This is why we need a governance review alongside a financial structure reform. #UKHE

Great article from @sheffielducu.bsky.social on how, despite what university leadership might suggest, the data clearly shows any financial issues at the institution are not a result of 'sector-wide' problems, but a result of their mismanagement. Please read! ucu.group.shef.ac.uk/campaigns/st...
