The lecturers at Oxford University have received a significant email. I don’t have the email but I have Mike Otsuka’s tweets of it.
This is how the dispute will be resolved. There is some powerful emotional intelligence at play here and I suspect that with negotiations in the hands of women like Louise Richardson, Janet Beer and Sally Hunt, we have rather more hope of a speedy resolution than were we leave it in the hands of us men!
UUK and UCU are back at ACAS today, after the hasty rearrangement yesterday. It seems that at last, some common sense is winning through.
If I’ve kept up: @UniversitiesUK took a decision reflecting a minority of its members, of which many were Oxbridge colleges, who deny they were ever formally represented, to undertake an action that is unnecessary, based on assumptions that are implausible. Right?!? #USSstrikes

Let’s see if Cambridge follow suit.
🥁Drumroll pls🥁
Oxford, one of the key proponents of de-risking now reverses its response to @UniversitiesUK
THIS IS HUGE news, & demonstrates future of #USS still very much in our control. #UUKs claim that their risk survey remains legitimate increasing untenable. #USStrikes https://t.co/YV8TpTPi8T
