Campaigns

Universities need parliamentary and public support: UCU is working to achieve that. Lobbying parliament has produced some impressive victories for the association, from the statutory defence of academic freedom to the disclosure of vice-chancellors' salaries. Careful press and publicity work ensures that UCU is a respected voice in higher education.
