@GoldsmithsUoL loves to roll out its ‘flagship’ course–the Black British History MA @BlackBritHistMA –yet the reality on the ground is this course has been relentlessly squeezed over years and now faces its final blow, management are proposing axing the convenor @AbenaKJohn.

If you add up the total number of jobs at risk in UK universities using @ucu's latest update, you'll see that 2263 jobs could go - a huge crisis. If govt & unions are pressing Tata for jobs guarantees, why isn't the same being done for Higher Education? ucu.org.uk/your-support-i…

“recent report by the @RoyalSociety found academic visas were often rejected for “arbitrary and subjective” reasons.” African nationals applying for a visitor’s visa needed to attend UK research conferences were 3 to 4 times more likely to be rejected than applicants in east Asia
