To all of us gathered around #USSbriefs.
THERE IS TIME:
* to read material (including we hope, what we're putting out)
* to digest material
* to inform yourself
* to make up your mind

This “leadership vacuum” has characterised our university leadership throughout this dispute.
This sector needs principled leadership. And by that I do not mean “Fundamental HR principles”. teapaw.org/sheffielducu/status/97… – at Sheffield, England

Here's a THREAD on the #USS Trustees, powerful individuals whose role has been insufficiently examined, and who have been operating without the full benefits of public scrutiny.
