Welcome to University and College Union (UCU) University of Dundee Branch home page
Dundee UCU calls on the University Court to:
- Withdraw the threats of compulsory redundancies included in the former Principal’s email to university staff on 13th November 2024.
- Fully disclose the financial information under-pinning the university’s financial position.
- Engage in genuine democratic consultation and negotiation on the future of the University of Dundee.
- Immediately move to introduce new governance structures for democratic decision making and transparency within the University.
Without such commitments staff and DUCU can have no confidence in the UEG or its proposals.
Please read analysis published in The Courier and on this site by Dr. Carlo Morelli, member of the DUCU Branch Committee and UCU Scotland Honorary Secretary, on the current crisis at the University of Dundee.
You will also find here DUCU’s position paper outlining proposals for governance reform of the university.
