- Motion text
Congress notes:
1. An ARPS Officer role is currently not included in the suggested officer roles in the Branch Officer roles guidance on the UCU website.
2. While some branches have an ARPS officer, many do not.
Congress believes that:
a. ARPS members can feel isolated and/or excluded from UCU, particularly in branches where committees positions are predominately filled by Academic members.
b. Increasing the number of ARPS Officers on Branch Committees would support ARPS members as members of UCU.
Congress resolves to:
i. Add ARPS Officer and a definition of the role to the list of Committee members that every branch should have in the UCU Model Local Rules to encourage branches to include this role.
