HE Sector Conference recognises that effective campaigning is only possible where it is based on the best available data. In order to further motions passed at Conference in 2011 and the equality agenda of UCU more generally this Conference asks for research to be carried out on a continuing basis into the gendered impact on the HE workforce of cuts and changes in government policy.
This research should as far as possible:
1. acknowledge and explore the compounding effect of multiple discrimination and look at impacts and potential impacts on older women, black women, disabled women and women as carers
2. be made available to ROCC and to SFC to inform decisions made in those committees, and
3. be made available to women members standing committee to enable them to report to women members annual conference.
