UCU notes that:
1. academic-related staff work in diverse HE roles, collaborating with academic staff to develop and deliver research, teaching and learning.
2. staff on non-academic contracts are approximately half the HE workforce.
3. in 2019/20, OfS made it non-mandatory to provide data on staff on non-academic contracts to HESA in England & Northern Ireland.
4. the coverage of HESA data could drop from near 100%, to 50% of the HE workforce.
5. in 2019/20, 36 institutions didn’t report any data for staff on non-academic contracts.
UCU believes that high quality data on the whole HE workforce is essential for improving pay and conditions for all members.
UCU resolves to:
a. work with other stakeholders (UCEA, other unions) to lobby OfS to include all HE staff in the mandatory data collection.
b. request data on non-academic staff from institutions that don’t provide data on academic-related staff via HESA.
