We welcome the shift in the University’s position, and hope that their commitment to ‘fostering an inclusive, respectful and supportive community for everyone’ means that our trans colleagues’ and students’ dignity and wellbeing will be prioritised in any future policy changes.

The proposed policy is abominable, and something we oppose in its entirety. The University's knee-jerk reaction has caused immense stress to trans colleagues and the University's 'apology' does not go nearly far enough in expressing a commitment to being a safe employer for Trans comrades.

And there it is. A shocking, appalling, and deeply disappointing announcement of an entirely unnecessary move from the university.

Shout out to our UCU colleagues across the Midlands + the UK, esp Coventry University UCU for their Alternative Open Day this Sat (15/3/25). Coventry is just one of many UKHE institutions whose VC is pushing redundancies + reductions of terms and conditions for staff.

it just came to our attention that Edge Hill University has fired a female scholar while she was undergoing cancer treatment. We share our comrades concern that this dismissal constitutes a flagrant example of unfair and discriminatory treatment.
