University of Ulster

The University of Ulster is damaging service to both students and the community through the widespread threat of compulsory redundancies.

The objective of this bullying and intimidation appears to be to:

• Coerce staff into accepting reductions in pay grade
• Pressure staff into accepting poor voluntary redundancy packages or early retirement
• Target individual staff without any clearly defined criteria for doing so

That sounds like where I used to teach. The result is that most of the good, competent, and honourable people I knew eventually left.

I haven't been back since I quit. I'd hate to think what it must be like now.

I notice in Times Higher Education:

Universities’ black and minority ethnic staff still encounter ‘significant disadvantage’

Isn't the University of Ulster also a part of this game?
