UK universities ‘systematically underpaying staff for years’

Quite a set of quotes from two uni heads:

"Michael Spence, president of UCL, told Times Higher Education...that staff had suffered as a result of the UK’s massification. “We’ve balanced the books by hugely increasing numbers of international students, by, in many institutions, not investing in adequate repairs and maintenance and, as a system, systematically underpaying our staff,” he said."

Zero surprise for his treatment of Twitter employees. We still remember the story about Tesla using underpaid ($5/hour) Slovenian, Croatian and other Eastern European workers in its Fremont factory hired via sketchy subcontracting firms.

So yesterday I spoke of the need to #FundTheFediverse - to build critical infrastructure for the #Fediverse & the need to do so before the next item in the #MuskPocolypse occurs. (Which seems daily)

These are my early ideas: in 🧵 form.

1. The first obvious thing is to donate to your local instance admin, find their Patreon, usually on their about page, & give even $1 dollar.

Make it happen. Give $8 bucks if you want the added benefit of mocking Elon.

Next one in the reply.
