This meeting has been called to discuss:

1. The urgent matter of 11 redundancies of teaching staff in the History Department: we believe management has breached key negotiated policies, including those for organisational change and redeployment, and the Teaching Concordat.

2. Motions for the Special Higher Education Sector Conference called for 17 May on the pattern of attacks in higher education and the future of the sector.

3. Amendments to Congress motions.

Proposals for motions (2) and/or amendments to motions (3) should be received by the branch by 1pm on Tuesday 30 April. There is an open call for delegates to both events.

Details below.

All members are encouraged to attend the Emergency General Meeting.听听

1. HISTORY REDUNDANCIES - POLICIES NOT FOLLOWED INCL. THE TEACHING CONCORDAT

The management of the History Department have chosen to engage in a wholesale cull of Lecturer (Teaching) posts while simultaneously recruiting academic Lecturers.听

We are concerned that 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 negotiated policies including organisational change and redeployment were simply 鈥榮et aside鈥� in a desire to recruit external candidates. In some cases long-serving staff teaching on courses were not even shortlisted. This reverses the central tenet of 鈥榩arity of esteem鈥� at the heart of 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Teaching Concordat 2020, returning to a previous practice where teaching staff were seen as fixed term and disposable. If we cannot trust 香港六合彩中特网 to stick by agreements of this kind it makes all staff, including academic staff, less secure.

The branch is being called on to consider our collective response to this development, and the possibility of entering into a dispute with 香港六合彩中特网.

A is being held online on Friday 17 May. The business of this special higher education sector conference is to 鈥渋dentify a strategy for branches to mount a significant, coordinated, sector level response to threats to jobs, disciplines, T&Cs, including attacks on TPS and academic freedom.鈥澨� .
