SUMMARY:Extraordinary Branch Meeting (Online)
DESCRIPTION:We are arranging an extraordinary meeting of the KU UCU branch to propose a motion relating to the University’s plans regarding face to face teaching this teaching block this Friday 28/08 at 1pm. At this meeting\, we will be proposing and voting on the following motion. \nThis branch notes that Independent Sage have released a Consultation Statement on Universities\, urging British universities to pursue online teaching as the ‘default option’ and avoid face-to-face teaching where possible. \nWe further note their recommendations of regular testing for all students and staff\, that masks should be worn in any face-to-face teaching\, and that universities should work with students to agree a contract committing everybody to act responsibly on and off campus. \nThis branch believes that teaching in Teaching Block 1 of the academic year 2020/21 should be online as far as possible\, rather than having a 30% minimum face-to-face teaching imposed across the board. We recognise that there are course-specific circumstances where not all teaching can feasibly be done online. Where this is the case (as determined by local Course Teams)\, face-to-face teaching must be undertaken on a fully voluntary basis with guarantees that those who do not opt to teach face-to-face will not suffer any financial or career detriment. Coercion of individuals by line managers to attempt to force returns to on campus working should be prohibited by the university. \nThis branch further believes that: \n\n\n\nBoth staff and students should be tested on return to campus\, and have regular follow up testing\,\nMasks should be required for any face-to-face classroom teaching\,\nA ‘conduct charter’ should be drawn up in consultation with UKS\n\n\n\nPlease do join us to discuss this important issue if at all possible. If this motion is passed\, we will be able to present it to JNCC and it will need to be considered by management. \nPlease check your inboxes for the Zoom link and remember to ensure that your full name is visible when you join the meeting.

SUMMARY:KSA UCU members meeting on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Across the UCU membership at Kingston there have been some really positive suggestions proposed regarding how as staff we can work to share ideas and put these forward to university management to further develop anti-racist policies. As one of the University’s recognised trade unions\, we are motivated to support change and in a position to put forward concrete ideas for action. \nKSA UCU reps thought this could be a good time to get together members in our faculty to share thoughts and possible actions – so we’ve  put in place an online meeting on Tuesday 30th June 4.15pm – 5.15pm* on Zoom (come for as long as you can) \nPlease email us for the Zoom link: \n\nContact Maggie m.gray@kingston.ac.uk\nLucy lucy.parker@kingston.ac.uk\n\nSome of the areas we could discuss are: recruitment processes\, pay & promotion\, health & wellbeing\, harassment & discrimination\, political education & training\, security & surveillance\, partnerships & funding\, marketing\, working with Unison and UKS\, improving Equalities representation in the branch.\n \nWe also have the following motion (a proposal voted on\, which would go to the wider branch\, and into consultations with management) to discuss: Postgraduate students on Tier-4 visas \nWe welcome member suggestions for other agenda items. If you are not able to attend\, please do contact Lucy and Maggie with suggestions and input – we are happy to talk to members on a 1-1 basis too. \nIt’s Your union! As a democratic organisation\, the more people that get involved the stronger and more representative we are. \nHope to see you online! \n  \nUCU centrally have a lot of useful resources: \n\nA short guide for branches can be accessed here https://www.ucu.org.uk/equality.\nAlso UCU have produced a short film about how everyday racism manifests itself in the workplace https://www.ucu.org.uk/action-against-workplace-racism’\n\n  \n* This start time for this event was originally 4pm start but was moved back due to coming right after   Festival of Research event ‘Navigating the world of academia when no one looks like you- the lecturers’ story’ \n
