Really super discussion here - lots of nuance and detail 👇.
This from Radio Wales is the most comprehensive take yet on @cardiffucu’s win in the @CardiffUni dispute. Worth a listen if you’re staff, a student, a trade unionist, or are just interested in the detail of what’s (& what fights remain ahead). @UCU .✊🔥💖.

NUS Cymru pushing for a review of how universities across Wales are funded as student wellbeing suffers from cutting & uncertainty. We need urgent action to secure HE in Wales, and these cuts are not the way to do it. Bad for staff, students, and Wales.

University bosses are conspiring to concoct a nationwide crisis across the sector so they can force through unnecessary job cuts. Big solidarity to @BangorUcu.
📢 Bangor University’s £15m cuts plan is a shambles. Staff have already suffered 200 job losses, and now another 78 are under threat. Our members have had enough. We’re ready to fight compulsory redundancies. @BangorUcu .

A brilliant take down of the reckless tech-bro optimism of Cardiff University management plans. "A flagship national university cannot be run like a tech startup.". Indeed, *no* university should be run like that!.
