Goldsmiths, University of London is facing “indefinite” strike action amid a row about pay being deducted for academics boycotting marking.
The university announced plans in April to cut £22 million from its budget, the third round of redundancies at Goldsmiths in the past five years.
Up to 269 posts across professional services and academic divisions have been put at risk as part of the cuts, according to the University and College Union (UCU).
Academics have launched a marking and assessment boycott in response, prompting the university to announce it will dock 100 per cent of pay for anyone participating, even if staff continue to complete all their other duties, including teaching, research and recruitment.
The UCU branch has now informed the university that its members will go on indefinite strike until their pay is reinstated.
