The official notes, PDF p. 21, handwritten p. 14 give the acceleration signs and the instability conclusion for the Einstein static universe. One wording correction is necessary: their word “oscillatory” for the overdense perturbation is a slip. Starting near rest, an overdense model contracts and its matter density rises, whereas an underdense model expands and its matter density falls; both move away from the static balance.
