Academic-related staff annual meeting

The UCU's next annual meeting for academic-related staff will be held on 16 March 2011.

The term 'academic-related staff' covers a wide range of roles in Higher Education; information services, computing, student support and administration in grades represented by UCU. These roles are regarded as 'academic related' because of the level of knowledge and skills involved in these roles and in recognition of the vital role that these members make to the university academic team. In UCU, academic-related roles are currently broken down into three broad categories: administrative roles, library roles and computing roles.
