UCU has just published a report on the precarity of research-only staff in the UK higher education sector. The report is based on freedom of information requests sent to 103 universities and sought to determine the level of support that universities are providing to research-only staff to improve their security of employment.
ARU scored only 34.5/100 in its support for research-only staff.
You can download the entire report here.
We are requesting views and information from our research-only colleagues around their experiences of precarious employment practices, so that we can take this matter forward. Please get in touch by contacting us at arubranch@ucu-branches.org.uk. If you have any other questions, you can also get in touch via the same e-mail.
