Last question on the college staff survey that I just filled out:

Q: What single thing should the College focus on to be a great place to work?

My answer: Minimising the negative impact of Brexit on our European colleagues.

You and me both!

It would help if it seemed like anyone in the UK government had the slightest bit of compassion for these people. It is falling on the shoulders of individual institutions to deal with the ongoing impacts and we haven't even left yet.

I'm quite proud of my institution's reaction, to be fair. The leadership issued some very strong pro-European statements immediately after the referendum, and have followed up the words with actions: there is a lot of help available to college EU employees who wish to secure their residency status now.

I'm watching the growth of hate towards minorities and reminding myself that at least one of them has been here before and me with it and that scares me! :o(
