Me on power, violence, & how women who speak up against it are silenced. But also on silence as a form of resistance

Me on BBC News for @CardiffUCU on our reluctant industrial action:
“It’s absolutely awful that our students are going to have to suffer for the mismanagement and terrible decisions taken by @CardiffUni bosses, but we’ve got huge student support.”

“Ellie, a student studying MA music performance, said the cuts were “disgusting and deplorable”.”
Our excellent @cardiffuni students speak out against the cuts in this excellent @NationCymru piece.

Brutal, but true on cuts to Universities in Wales.
“if we continue on this trajectory, we risk becoming a country that cannot afford to teach its own language, support its own culture, or train enough professionals to run its public services.”

This troubling account of @cardiffuni life under threat of redundancy, and at the whim of incompetent and uncaring HE bosses, is really striking a chord both within and beyond the University sector.
It’s an important, well-written piece that shows just how bad things are.

Two Weeks In The Death Spiral Of Cardiff University, by an anonymous academic. This is truly shocking read. The @CardiffUni executive board should hang their heads in shame. CC @CardiffUCU 👀🤦👇 voice.cymru/two-weeks-in-t…

Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, is dismantling USAID, which feeds the poorest children on earth.
This is oligarchy at its worst.
Musk’s actions are not only immoral and unconstitutional, they are counterproductive to our standing in the world.

Times Higher: @Cardiffuni’s closure of modern languages will tongue-tie its humanities
The global examination of culture is not possible without languages at degree level, say Wendy Ayres-Bennett, Charles Burdett and Emma Cayley

I will be speaking in the @Plaid_Cymru debate in the Senedd today calling on the Welsh Government to support our universities, and our higher education workforce and students, in order to protect the unique and essential contribution they make to our nation.
Sioned Williams 🏴@Sioned_W
I've never seen such a level of stress, frustration, anger and anxiety about the lack of Government focus on how higher education is being threatened, undermined and undervalued. Proud to address the @ucucymru protest at the Senedd against cuts to university jobs and courses.

This is a significant vote. Many in attendance were not (yet) union members, dozens couldn't join because capacity issues, & hundreds more couldn't attend because of teaching. @cardiffuni you have an opportunity to stop this wrecking of our institution & livelihoods. Act wisely.

The @UCUCymru rally and lobby of politicians over the future of FE &HE in Wales was very lively, & very loud. @CardiffUCU were joined by students making the case against Cardiff Uni’s cruel & unnecessary job and programme cuts.
Intervention by the @WelshGovernment is needed!

An in-depth interview I gave to @counterfireorg about the cruel and unnecessary cats at Cardiff University.
Watch this for the “who, what, why, when, and what next” of a devastating week for @CardiffUCU members.

What can students do to support lecturers?
They can write to the VC & ask “why are you saying cuts are needed when you aren’t cutting your £290,000 pay?”
“Why are you, Uni exec, taking a combined pay packet of £2.3m when you’re cutting 400 jobs?”

Ex-education minister facing Cardiff Uni lay off.
“I will certainly be co-operating with colleagues collectively on this, and others across the university, and joining in official trade union action where I can,”
Thanks for speaking out @leightonandrews ✊

At @CardiffUCU we’ll continue to make the case that @CardiffUni’s cuts are both cruel *and* unnecessary.
There *is* money to fund a more cautious, less damaging recovery that doesn’t destroy our members’ lives.
ITV Wales reported this well on Friday.
