Sector Conference of UCU demands best practice for the future Governance of all HEI's across the sector in order to provide a consistent framework for maintaining academic standards and academic freedoms. In particular the gross distortion of democratic accountability of Governing Boards in the 'Post '92' University sector now requires immediate attention by UCU. The current managerialist governance culture is at this time doing irreparable damage to institutional organisational structures. Conference therefore re-reaffirms previous policy in relation to governance at all levels in institutions, including at academic boards and senates, as set out, for example, in the ex-NATFHE manifesto on governance, and calls upon UCU to campaign effectively also to this end.
