Members were updated on the outcome of the recent national ballot. Whilst there was a strong vote for industrial action, the mandatory participation threshold wasn’t reached. The vote therefore will not lead to industrial action. UCU now intend to consult on next steps.

The Actinng Vice President also apprised members of the current status of TCP and the plans to launch online learning with an external provider.

Members also passed a motion authorising the payment of £500 into the University of Sheffield Hardship Fund in solidarity.
