So my uni has now included a “no resignation” clause in next year’s contracts. It’s my first year getting this type of contract, so maybe it’s always been there, but it seems strange – not to mention probably ultimately unenforceable.

I’ve seen in my union agreements that we have clauses along the lines of paying out any of the extra costs put onto the university for dealing with spurious leaves or reduced hours, so I’d definitely look into that to see what kinds of enforcement they plan to take with this.
That’s part of the head-scratcher: They don’t have any repercussions spelled out. Under those circumstances, it seems that the most they can do is to terminate the resigning employee, which is the entire point of a resignation.
