Teaching-only contracts: 20,000 moved on to terms in five years

The sad part of the story is that many who have been moved arent people who do not do any research at all, but people who have had working papers in the pipeline but nothing published in time for the REF, or people who have been publishing , but not at the top 4 or 5 journals. Rent seekers are having a field day moving around from place to place taking their one or two "top publications" with them, selling their wares to the highest bidder. Ditch this nonsense before the sector and frankly lives are destroyed. Check out the universities that to occupy the top places worldwide on any rank list, they arent at the top because of any REF or TEF.
