An important intervention from @JessicaToale on the cuts proposed at Bournemouth University. We welcome this support and urge university management to engage meaningfully with staff and students. Cuts to jobs and courses hurt local communities, there is another way. @UCUBU
My letter to the Vice-Chancellor of Bournemouth University requesting an urgent meeting following concerns staff and students have raised with me about the proposed job losses and cuts to courses. I will keep residents updated with any developments. You can read my full letter⬇️

Agree (for once) Make sure to look at the UCU account/ blog of the university you are applying to. This will indicate what your learning conditions will be like. Also, have a look to see if @UniversitiesUK members are sacking many of the staff who will teach & support you…
"We would encourage students to research all options available to them ahead of results day and to have a plan ready." @viviennestern, UUK Chief Exec. and Dr Jo Saxton, @UCAS_online Chief Exec. in @Telegraph this morning (halfway down the page!) 👇 https://t.co/sQAkOFee2r
