This picture is repeated all over the country. Staff and students deserve fairness and transparency in how public money is managed. It’s time to reclaim our university. Be there on Saturday. 7/7

As senior management teams across the country slash and burn their institutions, cutting excellent staff and departments without a thought, Chester’s VC gives us a snapshot of the perks and paybacks those same managers have come to expect. THREAD 1/7

JOIN US to RECLAIM OUR UNIVERSITY! SATURDAY 24th JULY, TOWN HALL, CHESTER. #reclaimouruniversity #noredundancieschester
UCU Chester@ChesterUcu

Reading these words from UCU members it is clear how utterly demoralised and devalued staff at Chester feel. And some staff are still at risk of redundancy. There is only one way we fight this. Every member must attend the Rally to Reclaim our University on 24th July.

I wrote a piece in the latest edition of Parlance, the PALA newsletter, on my experience of the current threat to the humanities; more relevant today than it was when it came out on Monday! I also wanted to emphasise the huge role of collegiality at times like this. Thanks all 💪

“Oh I wish I’d looked after me staff, But sacking ‘em seemed such a laugh, All that work they were doing Was too tempting to ruin As I lay in me gold-plated bath.”

Thank you @NoRedundancies from me and all at @SaveEnglishUoC. Your support has been amazing. Finally, someone heard you sing. Whatever you do and wherever you go, always have confidence in your voices.

DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?! The Governors' flagrant dismissal of student voices will only serve to make them louder. WATCH. THIS. SPACE. #noredundancieschester @ChesterUcu @NigelUNI @SaveEnglishUoC For you @DrSallyWest1

Make no mistake the university have withdrawn the risk of redundancy in these areas because of the tremendous efforts of the @ChesterUcu branch, and their amazing students. Solidarity with those whose jobs are still at risk. Now let’s save every job 👏🏻
UCU Chester@ChesterUcu

BREAKING: the University of Chester has withdrawn the risk of redundancy from staff in three departments: English, Theology & Geography. Staff in other areas remain at risk, so our fight to oppose compulsory redundancies will continue with the same level of determination.

Strangely, having planned to update Twitter today on our campaign to @SaveEnglishUoC, we’ve just been told the uni “does not intend to proceed further” with these redundancies. Much is owed to @ChesterUcu and to the 1000+ signatories to our letter of support. Thank you all v much

Despite the overwhelmingly positive support of students, the public, and the rest of the sector, the cruel and unjustified process of redundancies at Chester rumbles on. We won’t stop fighting for jobs and for a fairer and better university. Ballots will be sent out shortly.

University ‘leaders’ cannot handle student solidarity with staff. For all the talk of ‘citizen students’ what they really want is student consumers who will demand, complain, and not care how staff are treated. When students support staff, they are quickly silenced.

It's absolutely outrageous that the President of the University Council at @uochester should treat a thoughtful and engaged letter from the student body with such complete contempt. Why are people like this involved in a University? 1/2
UCU Chester@ChesterUcu

WOW. Students have received a response to their powerful open letter from the President of the University Council. This shows utter contempt and disregard for extremely valid student concerns, and is indicative of the way this whole process has been conducted. Disgraceful.
