UCU Elections 2024: Candidates Answer Our Questions
Dear subscribers,
As hopefully you will be aware, 2024 brings a pivotal set of elections for UCU. As usual, there are NEC elections, an election for a new Vice-President (Further Education) and for the General Secretary of UCU.
At UCU Commons, we decided to email candidates standing in these elections with a set of questions about their plans and positions. We contacted all candidates for General Secretary, Vice President, and all independent candidates for NEC. We informed them that we would be publishing their responses, verbatim, on our website, and we are publishing these today. You can read them on our website. Candidates’ responses are listed in alphabetical order by surname.
UCU Commons’ endorsement decisions, together with an accompanying commentary, will be published very soon. Please stay tuned here, and on our social media (Twitter/X, Bluesky, Mastodon) for updates.
It is critical that all members vote in these elections. Ballots (which will be sent through the post, as usual) will open on 25th January, and will close on 1st March.
In solidarity,
UCU Commons
