      <image:title>UCUE news blog - The Academic Contribution Framework: a flawed, discriminatory response to a failure of management’s making - We shouldn’t be surprised. Yes, the same people who brought us People and Money – a £37 million management trainwreck with zero accountability – want to roll out a mechanism by which, they say, they will secure the financial future of the university. It’s hard to know which is worse: the problem they have narrowly defined, or the punitive anti-intellectual, career-wrecking solution that they call the Academic Contribution Framework (ACF).</image:title>
      <image:caption>First things first. We keep saying this, but we need to say it again, and louder for the back: There. Is. No. Deficit. Edinburgh is one of the wealthiest universities in the UK. It has assets of £3 billion, and significant reserves with which it can ride out fiscal challenges. Yes, the higher education sector is facing tough times. There certainly are universities facing financial crisis. Edinburgh is not one of them. There is no accepted rationale for redundancies. An isolated university leadership is attempting to impose cuts to conceal its own long-term negligence and groupthink.</image:caption>

      <image:title>UCUE news blog - Hidden Redundancies: Edinburgh University Management Making Staff Redundant Under the Radar - With the latest news of Edinburgh University’s Vice-Chancellor, Peter Mathieson, receiving a pay rise and a paid appointment at the Roslin Institute, university management’s  decision to push for redundancies amid budget cuts is growingly absurd. However, as staff wait for further clarification on the number of redundancies, Management has already been making cuts in less obvious ways.</image:title>

      <image:title>UCUE news blog - In Our Own Time: Precarious and Unpaid Work(loads) in Academia - During a local UCU workload campaign amid ongoing budget cuts and threats of compulsory redundancies, we ask: where does casualisation sit in this? How can we understand workload through job insecurity? What about the hidden or silent redundancies of staff in hourly or/and fixed-term contracts, so normalised in neoliberal academia that they are invisible?</image:title>

      <image:title>UCUE news blog - Misleading and Partial Data in Management’s “Crisis” Narrative - In this latest post from the Joint Unions Finance Working Group, we look at some of the specific assertions that have been central in the “crisis” narrative senior management has presented to justify cutting staff. The points below are based on publicly available data and on data to which all staff have access. Joint Unions have still not been given access to the most recent financial year’s audited accounts, or to the projections underlying some of the claims management is making, so this is a reconstruction based on available figures.</image:title>

      <image:title>UCUE news blog - Suppression of freedom of expression on Palestine at the University of Edinburgh must stop!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We the undersigned unions, organisations, networks and individual staff and students write to condemn our institution’s senior managers for their suppression of Palestine-related expression at the University of Edinburgh, as detailed below. We cannot tolerate the contradiction of an institution that claims to uphold freedom of expression, but actively works to shut down certain views and threaten those who continue to insist on speaking. There cannot be a Palestine exception to freedom of expression.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Supporting non-EEA staff - The Status Quo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Under most visa paths followed by non-EEA staff, it is necessary for us to apply for ILR, or else leave the country and our jobs after six years. The current cost of ILR for each primary applicant and for each dependent is £2,389. Five years ago, the cost for each primary applicant was £1,051 (a 227% increase) and for each dependent was £788 (a 303% increase). The University currently offers an interest free loan to defray the upfront cost of the considerable ILR fees, which is then paid back to the University through deductions from our pay packets.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Supporting non-EEA staff - The Current Situation</image:title>
      <image:caption>The University has decided not to improve its support for non-EEA staff, while simultaneously deciding to support EEA staff with the cost of their settlement costs, effectively creating a two-tiered workforce. Senior management have cited “Brexit uncertainties” to us with respect to this decision. It has not been clearly communicated to us who has made this decision, but based on the publicly available minutes of the University’s governing committees, it would seem to have been made by senior management.</image:caption>
