Thinking of all my friends being unnecessarily and cruelly made redundant by @uniofleicester tomorrow. A disastrous backward step for @UniLeicBusiness. No good will come of any of this, for anyone involved 
Why would you want to not have @DavidHarvieUCU working for you? An amazing scholar and committed teacher. For many years he gave his all to improving the undergraduate curriculum, benefitting tens of thousands of students
@profsimonlilley was the very model of the engaged and supportive academic manager. He led by example with a strong ethical and moral compass. Is that no longer the way for @UniLeicBusiness ?
Whilst the government pretends to care about views being supressed on campus, @uniofleicester is trying to sack staff whose research threatens management

I once worked at a university that is doing what the University of Leicester is doing now and can say the following with some authority
1. academic redundancy ruins people’s lives. It leads to mental health breakdown, hospital admissions and the need to take anti-depressants
2. it leads to a brain drain within the institution as even those not targeted try to move on if they can to escape the toxic work environment
