Look how far marketisation of higher education has gone. King’s intentions are clear, don’t pretend King’s values students/staff over profit. You view student as “customers” for a system built on exploiting workers such as our cleaners, security and lecturers.
@NayanaPrakash1 Hi Nayana, we’re really sorry about this. We've had a slight glitch affecting a handful of students. We're thrilled to welcome you to King’s and look forward to meeting you in September!

Super excited to be joining KCL for an MA, but I have received more convincing welcome emails: ‘Customer, welcome to King’s College London’ 💵💵💵

Experience teaches us that nothing is less within people's power than to hold their tongues or control their appetites. (E3p2s)
Given that UUK offer was deliberate attempt to confuse and divide, and UCU just squandered its last chance to counter it while staying united, is there any point in voting no in the ballot that isn't just a perfomative rebellion leading to June 30 default to rejected ACAS deal?
KCL Strike Unofficial retweeted
A thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many. (KV)
Some thoughts on UUK offer
KCL Strike Unofficial retweeted
The explicit guarantees we need: 1) ditching of November valuation (or we will get DC by default long before April 2019). 2) explicit guarantee of DB in long term. 3) status quo until mutually agreed settlement reached. 4) No ballot til USS and tPR agree: or we lose everything! x.com/katerhardy/sta…
KCL Strike Unofficial retweeted
I've been torn this weekend between the #accept and #ReviseAndResubmit sides in the discussion over the proposals but now pretty settled on the latter. I agree there are too many risks if we accept and call off the action. /1
Stupid Q: what exactly is the difference between voting for and against the offer? If offer is ‘accepted’, industrial action continues until USS and tPR agree to joint proposal, including extension of June 30 deadline? If ‘offer’ is not a ‘deal’, what are we ‘agreeing’ to?
Excellent piece by Sam James of @CambridgeUCU explaining limits of latest UUK offer. Add to this @UCL_UCU ‘s point that offer was presented by UUK without negotiation w/ UCU, it then looks more like opening gambit for a 2nd phase of negotiations. @KCL_UCU cambridgeucuaction.wordpress.com/2018/03/24/how…

Khaled E, KCL student involved in occupation, has been suspended under emergency procedure. Please sign and share this letter asking KCL to end victimisation docs.google.com/document/d/15K… @KCL_UCU @ucu_eng_kcl @3EducationKCL @KCLJ4C @kclsu @KCLstrike @USSstrike #strikeforUSS #USSstrike
6/ Latest email from Byrne confirms @KingsCollegeLon took hawkish position on the valuation. There are serious questions about how this happened exactly: who was involved and how was the decision reached?
5/ The push to ‘derisk’ pensions (=shift of liability to employees) should be viewed in connection with universities’ focussing of resources onto real estate. Our livelihoods are now just a small part of an investment portfolio managed by individuals with no stake in education.
1/ Interesting LSE Director Minouche Shafik now urging UUK to revert to Sept valuation. Not status quo, but at least implies negative judgement on Nov valuation. No such specific statement from KCL Principal Ed Byrne who sticks to ‘legitimate debate’ line. …conomicscommunications.newsweaver.com/flyer/10l5b9a7…
