Exec team at UEA are closing their ears & eyes to damage already done and that will be done to OUR university if they pursue compulsory redundancies. We will keep telling and showing them. Too many colleagues have already paid the price for poor senior leadership. @uea-ucu.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk

Compulsory redundancies at UEA are financially unnecessary, the process being imposed on our colleagues is cruel and in total opposition to @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social 'values', however much our VC and his team try to deny & deflect that fact.
And so, we persist.

Claims from senior leaders that two rounds of cuts won't impact student experience or staff workload/trust are totally disingenuous.

When our @uniofeastanglia executive & governance team reject alternative cost saving and voluntary schemes, claim their cuts won't impact student experience, and dismiss the strength of staff collegiality and concern, then we make this challenge. Do different. @uea-ucu.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk
