Such good news that Sue Agazie has won a settlement, following the absolutely disgraceful treatment she has suffered. Her story should serve as a stark reminder of just how low a university is prepared to sink in order to protect its interests, no matter the human cost.

It absolutely *is* a scandal, especially when you see what Durham charges per hour for its academics working with other organisations. Academic expertise is always extremely highly valued by the uni, right up to the point the uni itself has to pay for it.
So according to @durham_uni 3 days' work as a PhD external examiner + 1 day doing the viva is worth £110. Isn't this a scandal, @ucu @ucuatdurham @leicesterucu @NaweWriters ? External examining is paid lower than the minimum wage at all UK universities, but this is absurd.

Any such "debate" would be beyond tone-deaf. For over a year we have been forced to watch an unfolding genocide. "Debating" who is most to blame for that is ridiculous and offensive.
The Durham Union are, once again, hosting a ‘debate' over the genocide in Palestine. Please join us tomorrow evening outside the Pemberton rooms as we rally against this farce ‘debate’.
