While marking is only a fraction of the workload for most academic staff, SOAS withheld thousands from the payslips of staff
at 145 universities across the UK, with staff refusing to mark dissertations, final papers, and exams unless their pay demands are met.
SOAS is the first university to implement the policy, although three other universities – Dundee, Winchester and Sheffield Hallam – have also threatened academic staff with 100 per cent pay deductions. “It is morally indefensible, but also strategically unsound, as the escalation to strike action shows. More than that, the very fabric of the university – and the goodwill that sustains it – are being shredded as a result of management’s hubris.”
Dr Stevano said: “It is de facto more convenient to be on strike than on action short of strike because when we are on strike, we are not deducted weekend pay and pension contributions.”
