We are all shock. 😵

word on the street is headhunters are casting invitations far and wide for applicants for Executive Dean of Humanities... few takers apparently



Still ridiculous that @portsmouthuni is getting rid of @Rosie_Paice 🤬

I submitted my redundancy appeal letter yesterday. Head went during meeting with UCU rep so the afternoon was a huge struggle and I scraped the letter in for 5pm. 15 evidenced pages, single spaced, Arial 10. I really could write a book...

Many people currently unconvinced by this Professor's credibility. That said....@5_news....

Professor Graham Galbraith being interviewed by @5_news about our asymptomatic testing programme with @NTLBiologica. Tune in at 5pm to find out more.

Do your hobbies include drowning kittens and tripping up old people? Apply now! #GalbraithHasFailed

Time to polish up your CVs: the University of Portsmouth is on the lookout for a Dean of Hums and SocSci (again)! We wonder if anyone will be able to meet @portsmouthuni’s “expectations for the role” this time... and what those “expectations” could be 🤔 port.engageats.co.uk/LoginV2.aspx?e…

To meet national benchmarks for the discipline, a degree in English MUST include coverage of literature pre-1800 AND post-1800. How will the overworked staff who are left cope with having to learn enough context to teach early modern literature? The prep time will be horrendous.

You’re cottoning on to the levels of thought that have gone into these staff cuts... Yes, the 82% of you that guessed that @portsmouthuni has made *all* its #earlymodern @UOP_EngLit staff redundant are correct. This is what trashing a subject looks like. #GalbraithHasFailed

A puzzle for the weekend! Before the cuts, the @UOP_EngLit team was made up of staff with the following specialisms: 3 x early modern (pre-1700) 1 x 18 Century 4 x 19C 5 X 20/21C How many early modernists have been made redundant by @portsmouthuni? #GalbraithHasFailed


PortsmouthPirate reposted

Bad luck to the 11% who thought all those made redundant are men and to the 32% who thought that 1 man had been made redundant! The answer is that *all* the #EnglishLiterature staff made redundant by @portsmouthuni are women. #GalbraithHasFailed #gender #discrimination

So... @UOP_EngLit has 13 staff, 8 of whom are women. Out of those of the #EnglishLiterature team being made redundant (unnecessarily) by @portsmouthuni, how many do you think are men? #Discrimination #gender #AthenaSWAN #GalbraithHasFailed @timeshighered @GuardianEdu

👇THIS👇 Shout out to *all* the @UOP_EngLit team #StillATeam #GalbraithHasFailed

Best advice I have is keep strong as a team - even if there have been past differences. That solidarity between us helped us get thru the darkest bits (and there’s humour between colleagues in that darkness that no-one else would understand). “We didn’t know how strong we were” x

We hope VC Graham Galbraith is taking note of how his management of @portsmouthuni is costing students the education they are paying for. #GalbraithHasFailed @portsmouthsu

This has always been a bad decision, but the way it's been implemented has been incompetent to the point of cruelty. Sympathy and solidarity with all of the Eng Lit team


PortsmouthPirate reposted

Enraged at the way your wonderful colleagues' work and excellent course are being wilfully destroyed through these extremely short-sighted and ideologically driven cuts. Love and solidarity to you all x

All #GalbraithHasFailed needs now is to be honest about his intentions and incorporate “brutal” and “cruel” into his #UniversityVision

Yesterday @portsmouthuni sent redundancy letters to valued colleagues. @UOP_EngLit staff have done all they can to keep more colleagues by making some posts fractional but 6FTE remains just 6FTE. We remain clear that this level of staffing is too low. #GalbraithHasFailed


PortsmouthPirate reposted

Solidarity to all colleagues from @SaveUoPLit that received redundancy letters yesterday. It’s not just the fact that the redundancies are unnecessary, it is also the shambolic mismanagement by @portsmouthuni that has no regard for the dignity of work of these valued colleagues.
