At last month’s well attended UCU meeting in Bath, Tom Hickey (UCU National Exec) invited us to send members to a Convention for Higher Education in Brighton on 24/25 May.
UCU Committee has agreed to support this event and to provide support for members who want to attend. If you are interested in attending this event please contact UCU Secretary Hedley Bashforth before 8th May
The Convention will draw together key speakers including Priya Gopal, Colin Blakemore, John Holmwood, Martin McQuillan, Gill Scott, Will Hutton, Martin Hall, Luke Martell, Bob Brecher, Peter Scott, Tom Hickey, Colin Green, Caroline Lucas (MP) and Thomas Docherty.
The event will debate developing a Charter for Higher Education. At a time when the sector is under unprecedented pressure this is an extremely timely initiative.
