On Thursday 16 August 2024, Goldsmiths UCU reached a negotiated end to our recent dispute with Goldsmiths SMT.
Included in this agreement was a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies for staff who remained at risk of redundancy as a result of the Transformation Programme; maintaining the Associate Lecturer budget for academic year 2024/25 at the level of academic year 2023/24; a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies in academic year 2024/25 for all staff; and a commitment to work with GUCU on delivering mutually-agreed equality and diversity issues. In return for these commitments GUCU agreed to end our dispute, lifting the marking and assessment boycott and halting planned industrial action for the 2024/2025 academic year, which included an indefinite strike from September 2024.
