UCU: The attacks against trans rights

Motion

Motion text: Conference notes
1. The Supreme Court’s unprecedented attack on trans and non-binary (TNB)
people’s human rights threatens all human rights.
2. The EHRC threatens, with unseemly haste, to produce policy guidelines
exceeding the SC judgement.
Conference believes
a. TNB’s deserve to work and study with dignity, safety and without
discrimination.
b. The UCU must involve TNB staff and students in producing guidance to
maintain campus, course and facilities accessibility to TNB staff/students.
Conference resolves
i. To immediately form a joint working group of TNB staff/students inviting
representation from organisations such as FGEN and NUS.
ii. To task said group to produce a policy for universities on defending trans
rights in light of the SC judgment.
iii. To provide funding to said group for lawyers with appropriate specialisms.
iv. To disseminate resulting policy to all universities, FE college management
and SU’s.
v. To promote the policy widely to ensure its adoption.
