My PhD advisor, Fred Piper, has died. Fred was a mentor, a colleague, and a friend. Like many, he guided my career - in ways both visible and invisible. Let us be inspired by his example: it is possible to be highly successful and remain kind to everyone around you. 🙏

Why am I so angry about what happened at the @USSpensions JNC last week? Because the way #USS concluded the 2020 valuation was not in accordance with the scheme rules and undercut @UCU's influence on the JNC, possibly permanently. You need to know about this. 1/

Yesterday's decision by the @USSpensions board has breach of trust written all over it. The trustee set up a rigged negotiation process through a misapplication of the scheme rules, to the detriment of the scheme's membership. This cannot go unchallenged. #USSmess

“So, poorly researched and no clear forward plans (hmmm, isn’t that what they are accusing us of?)" Sheffield University managers sidestep Senate vote which could have revealed the extent of support, or lack of it, for closing the Archaeology Department. thepipeline.info/blog/2021/07/0…

Here's my best attempt at illustrating why this #USS valuation looks to be built on sand, plus a bonus reflection on where things took a wrong turn a decade or so ago. medium.com/ussbriefs/how-…

Some financial background to the crisis besetting our university. Formerly one of the UK’s leading pre-1992 universities, the University of Leicester made significant investments in expansion and update of its facilities pre-Covid, and was in a great deal of trouble even then.

I haven't seen it mentioned publicly yet, but there's an extra dimension to this crisis for English universities: debt covenants, particularly debt cover ratios & minimum surplus requirements.
