Sonam Wagchuk, the inspiration of the movie 3 Idiots was on a peaceful climate march with a hundred others from Ladakh to Delhi. They have been detained at the Delhi border by police. They are not allowed to meet anyone,not even for a Vakalatnama!
Gross violation of Art 19 rights

I AM BEING DETAINED...
along with 150 padyatris
at Delhi Border, by a police force of 100s some say 1,000.
Many elderly men & women in their 80s and few dozen Army veterans...
Our fate is unknown.
We were on a most peaceful march to Bapu’s Samadhi... in the largest democracy in the world, the mother of democracy...
Hai Ram!

Sickened and heartbroken this week seeing so many amazing scholars at @GoldsmithsUoL being sacked after a cruel, insidious and meaningless “scoring” exercise.

Dystopic times over at Goldsmiths this week as colleagues, including leading scholars who have played a pivotal role in shaping British sociology & anthropology as disciplines, are made redundant through cruel & farcical bureaucratic mechanisms. Solidarity 💔 – at Cambridge, England
Solidarity to all at Goldsmiths today at the sharp end of a shambolic redundancy process which is systematically dismantling one of the most impt institutions in our field w/ untold human cost | Suport the fight here goldsmithsucu.org/donations/… @GoldsmithsUCU

If Goldsmiths - with a very strong & active union - can get away with sacking nearly 100 people for spurious financial reasons, then I shudder to think about what's next for other universities. Please send messages of support to @GoldsmithsUCU & donate to gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmit…

We're fighting to stop redundancies. If you went to Goldsmiths University of London and you benefited from what we offered, can you DM me or @GoldsmithsUCU with a quote ? If you are famous can you please make sure you do this? What you say will help.

15 days to go. Remember when the @Conservatives gave £203m to a Tory peer for largely useless PPE and she spent the profits on a yacht

They noted “positive revenue and profit momentum” ... had continued, with “increased demand for private healthcare as a result of NHS backlogs post-Covid”.
A stark reminder of the role that the economy of time (lost and gained) has in neoliberal healthcare

Students and staff agree: Frances Corner has got to go!
The results are in, and 98.91% OF STUDENTS at Goldsmiths have no confidence in the Warden or her Senior Management Team (SMT). This follows two previous votes of no confidence in Frances Corner by staff during her tenure.
The students vote of no confidence in the Warden and SMT at @GoldsmithsUoL
And still they choose not to speak to staff or students about alternatives.
It doesn't have to be this way.

A university that spends over £1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with @GoldsmithsUCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal @GoldsmithsUoL
Sophie Day retweeted
The compulsory redundancies imposed upon us by @GoldsmithsUoL do not have a financial basis and reveal an ideological attack on free thinking at university. With the union, @GoldsmithsUCU we defend the right of all colleagues to secure jobs. #NotADoneDeal

📢 Massive thanks to the legendary Professor Paul Gilroy @bungatuffie for his solidarity:
"The butchering of @GoldsmithsUoL by inept management and cack-handed consultants provides a dismal example of the deterioration of UK Higher Education."
