Liveblog from the staff strikes yesterday. Very interesting read for why the strike is happening and the efforts staff are making not to affect students. Particular quotes: Remember today isnt just about lecturers but support staff too. At @sheffielduni 300 workers are not on living wage, 88% women. #fairpayinHE — Hannah Rudman (@HannahDRudman) I’m expected to provide good feedback that makes it possible for my students to write better essays, without being paid at all as it’s considered to be part of my 11 hours of prep. I also need to read most things on the reading list. So while my students are paying £50 each for the seminar I teach, I get paid £12.” - Opal Mattila Meanwhile, several lecturers, GTAs and disability support staff have rescheduled meetings and seminars to ensure that students do not miss out on their teaching because of the strike today.
