Hi peachygirl, thank god for that, very relieved for you. Are many others going to be made redundant do you know?

Just to let anyone who has looked at this thread know we found out today that Dh is not going to be made redundant.

We are very very relieved and can now move on with our lives and planning for the new baby.

this featured today in the Times Higher

dh got an email today to say things are being sorted and we may hear soon.

Thanks for your thoughts GirlsAreLoud

We thought that today Dh would find out about the redundancy but yet again it looks like it is going to drag on further. There was a big email from the union after a meeting which basically said no one knows what’s going on. What we do know is that if he is made redundant then his ‘package’ will be a better deal that they had previously said.
There is an independent review going on and I think decisions are still being made and fought by the union

On the bright side it means we have another months full pay packet.

Hope things turned out ok peachygirl, thinking of you.

Thanks.
We are still waiting to hear Dh has to go in tomorrow for exam invigilation. He is not keen.

GOt to go to bed now. Will be thinking of you tomorrow peachygirl, really really hope that your DH keeps his job.

Please let me know how it turned out if you get a chance at some point.

Fingers crossed for you all xx

Yes, totally.

I know the catalyst is that the HEFCE rules don't/didn't support Universities in the WP sector.

Interested to see that they have now have apparently changed the rules in light of this. But still want to press ahead for Londonmet to repay the money.

Penalising only the staff and the students.

Shit situation. What a mess.

DH blames bad management and the funding body pulling funding for students who do not complete in the standard three years.
The govenment want there to be 50% of people in uni but don't necessarily understand that many of these are not going to be your usual'complete the degree on time' students, London Met has a lot of students who live at home and work part time, and mature students etc.

Does that make sense??
