Never seen a 'leader' so destructive, callous, wilfully indifferent to an institution. And still impunity - walking away on 'research leave' and bags of money.
So, it seems that Prof Frances Corner, the VC who headed up mass redundancies & decimated the careers of over 100 dedicated academics, inc mine, at #GoldsmithsCollege, has stepped down with immediate effect, a year before her contract expires. What's the story there I wonder?

No, no no, this has definitely got zero to do with money, or broken funding models. Or the abysmal Labour gov that won't address the meltdown of one of the UK's actual successful sectors. This new Uni will be big, but it certainly won't be super #UCU

The IOF have murdered 82 Palestinians so far today. 33 were gunned down while waiting for food. The rest were bombed by drones, fighter jets, or shelled by tanks in their homes and on the roads. Hundreds injured. The IOF bombed one school already. It's 12pm in Gaza.

Solidarity with our trans siblings 🏳️⚧️❤️✊ Now the courts have given the GCs what they wanted, they'll presumably stop protesting every visible expression of trans identity. To do otherwise would reveal them to be the anti-trans activists that we always believed they to be

Another blow to the teaching of Philosophy in HE in the UK: highly-praised Philosophy at Kingston is being axed, on the orders of an empty-headed VC who wants to convert Kingston University into a glorified technical college. More 'financial realignment' is being planned. Grim.

Question: Why S.H.A.P.E (Southwark Housing and Planning Emergency)? Answer: Arch St, The Elephant - built 2011 for L&Q Housing Association. Meant for some Heygate Est tenants before their estate was demolished. 2019 Arch St vacated due to fire safety issues. 2025 still empty!
