Vice-chancellors are addicted to year-on-year cycles of redundancies. But you cannot cut your way to growth.
Universities must listen to UCU, invest in staff & build student provision. If they refuse, they pave the way for significant industrial unrest.

Excellent and critical roundtable on Trust & Evidence in #policymaking in #Swansea today. Diolch to @MASI_Swansea @GabiJB for curating and inviting @_Policywise to contribute. (1/3)

I've made a fortune scalping tickets for this!
