Hey! Frances! Your attack on the critical and creative thought @GoldsmithsUCU soon won't have the backing of the government. Why this short-sighted vandalism of an institution that was built and fostered over generations and which you're responsible for? #NotADoneDeal

📢CALL TO ACTION:
Senior management @GoldsmithsUoL are counting on our exhaustion.
They want us to think these redundancies are a forgone conclusion.
But we know it’s #NotADoneDeal!
Use the hashtag #NotADoneDeal to let them know that you will help us fight until the end!💪
I wrote my 1st book on the MA Creative Writing @GoldsmithsUoL and was thrilled to take a job teaching that same MA this January. Now it's June & I'm at risk of redundancy. Love to see staff & students stand together to save this centre of radical & creative thinking.#NotaDoneDeal

I learned so much as an author & activist on the #CreativeWriting MA @GoldsmithsEng ✍️10 yrs & 2 published novels later, I teach on that same MA course. Horrified that @GoldsmithsUoL now aims to axe 133 jobs. The arts & humanities will suffer. This must be stopped #NotaDoneDeal

An interesting article by @jacobin. What do you think Humanities students?

British prime minister Rishi Sunak has launched a crackdown on what he calls “rip-off university degrees.” It’s really a push to discourage working-class students from choosing subjects that will help develop their critical understanding of the world. jacobin.com/2023/08/rishi-su…
