Management informed the branch yesterday that they are refusing to enter into negotiations over redundancies, and that they intend to implement pay deductions with effect from 3 June 2008.
Conference notes the decision of Keele University on 7 December 2007 to close the School of Economic and Management Studies and the Centre for Health Planning and Management, and to close all courses from 2009, involving up to 38 redundancies among the 67 academic staff. Conference further notes that management have refused to negotiate with UCU and have threatened to make 25% deductions from pay of UCU members taking industrial action.
Conference endorses the decision of the Higher Education Committee to place Keele University on the grey list, and resolves to continue providing maximum support to the Keele campaign.
