One of our health and safety officers, Jill Millar, explains why our members should vote yes ❌ and yes ❌ in the local ballot. Jill explains that cuts to time for assessment are being driven by a desire for financial savings. As a result, both the student experience and staff wellbeing will suffer.

Our campaigns officer, Maïa Pal, explains why our members should vote yes ❌ and yes ❌ in the local ballot. Successive cuts to research time undermine the research-led teaching which is the essence of a University education.
