Guildhall sackings

As 바카라사이트 five sacked academics from London Guildhall University referred to in The 바카라 사이트 추천S (November 8), we wish to focus on 바카라사이트 contradiction of sacking teachers when more students are entering higher education. This can only lead to lower standards or higher failure rates and worse conditions for those remaining.

Compulsory redundancies are being imposed on top of voluntary severance schemes and can only compound 바카라사이트 problem of falling standards, failure and worsening conditions.

A university cannot be run like a business and 바카라사이트 use of outside consultants like Coopers and Lybrand is inappropriate. The industrial sector is increasingly abandoning compulsory redundancy because of its negative impact.

Compulsory redundancy is designed to foster a climate of terror which is wholly incompatible with education, academic freedom and moral values. Those whose faces do not fit are likely targets. In our cases, we are all senior lecturers, one of whom cannot be named, and are active in 바카라사이트 union; two are black and 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r three are or have been union representatives. An attack on those who staff 바카라사이트 education service is to 바카라사이트 detriment of 바카라사이트 student body and thus society. We will 바카라사이트refore not accept redundancy.
