Staff at five universities are taking strike action in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.
Further strike days will follow at institutions across the country and a total of 140 will be affected across the UK.
Members want a pay rise worth the RPI measure of inflation +2%, and for employers to end the use of zero-hours and temporary contracts. But unions claim this is a real-terms pay cut, and 56% of participating UCU members voted to reject the offer. She added: "We are again beginning the start of a new academic term with industrial action. Last year, university bosses made clear that they were prepared to sit back and see students suffer rather than negotiate a fair offer on pay and working conditions.Ms Senior said the union had sought to settle this dispute at every opportunity.
