The Seven Deadly Sins of Marketisation in British Higher Education

@pavlosvas1

This bit feels even more relevant for today’s #UCU #strike #ucuRISING

For many years, academics accepted relatively low pay (relative to their skill level) and long hours in exchange for relative #autonomy at work and a dignified retirement. That #socialContract has been torn up under a decade of #marketisation. The supply of “good will” (i.e. #underpaid and #unpaidLabour) that has kept #universities running for a long time is now close to zero. Even if the employers win in this dispute, it will be a #Phyrric victory, or a Carthaginian one — creating a desert and calling it peace. Unless vice-chancellors change course, #workplace relations will be poisoned for a generation and universities will become increasingly #dysfunctional.
