The head of UCL admits higher education is “systemically underpaying staff�? Pay is down by 25%. The system is broken On Thursday we fix it #ucuRISING

UK universities have been “systematically underpaying�? staff for “many years�? as the sector had struggled to remain solvent with an ever-swelling student body paying fixed fees, according to two leading vice-chancellors.

Michael Spence, president of UCL, told Times Higher Education’s THE Campus Live event 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.

🇫🇷 London has lost the crown of biggest European stock market to Paris. 🇬🇧 It’s another symbolic sign of Britain’s shrinking place in the wake of Brexit, and the continental rivals that will step into position.

London has lost another status symbol. It’s no longer home to Europe’s biggest stock market.
