Our incoming Exeter UCU treasurer, Matt West @westbynoreaster, has studied our local/national finances. The reality is that academics in pre-92s are on a different planet to post-92s, on the whole, and the difference between their income/career prospects and professional services staff is egregious. The sector is massively unequal in terms of pay, and national pay bargaining can’t address that - or at least no one’s proposing to address, let alone fix that hierarchy.

@alexprichard @ucu @westbynoreaster super work. Comparative data from the 2000s would be great.
From a visualisation pov, I'd recommend using pre92/post92 rather than Russell Group Yes/No as a legend label.
Q is about long term viability of institutions of teaching focused institutions where student fees have been capped with no inflation adjustment; with a gov that doesn't want to centrally fund unis.
Some capital expenditures have been daft, some good (more on-campus student housing for UWE)

@DToher @alexprichard @ucu My intention for this work was to present current financial data with as soft a touch as possible. I have my own perspective about the best course of action in our current dispute, but at least in this moment, as many people to get a sense of where we are as possible.
