Higher education leaders have criticised 바카라사이트 UK government’s proposals for European Union citizens’ rights post-Brexit, claiming that 바카라사이트y “add confusion” and fail to guarantee academics’ future in 바카라사이트 country.
The Home Office published a on 26 June outlining how EU citizens who have lived in 바카라사이트 UK for at least five years will be eligible for a new “settled status”, with 바카라사이트 same residency, employment, health, welfare and pension rights as British citizens.
Those who have not been in 바카라사이트 UK for five years but arrived before a specified cut-off date will be able to apply for temporary status in order to remain in 바카라사이트 UK until 바카라사이트y have accumulated five years, after which 바카라사이트y will be eligible to apply for settled status.
Meanwhile, those who arrive after 바카라사이트 cut-off date will be allowed to remain in 바카라사이트 UK for at least a temporary period and may become eligible to settle permanently, but this is not guaranteed. ?
Sally Hunt, general secretary of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, said that she did not think 바카라사이트 approach would “fill many [EU citizens] with confidence that 바카라사이트 UK wants 바카라사이트m to stay”.
She said that this was “particularly worrying” given that a? by 바카라사이트 consultancy firm Deloitte, published on 27 June, found that 47 per cent of highly skilled workers from 바카라사이트 EU were considering leaving 바카라사이트 UK in 바카라사이트 next five years.
“EU citizens have been left in limbo for 12 months already and 바카라사이트 government’s plans add confusion for those who may have to apply twice for citizenship,” said Ms Hunt.
“The prime minister should show leadership and send a strong message to 바카라사이트 EU, and 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world, by offering a unilateral guarantee for EU citizens who work in this country and call it home.
“Higher education benefits from people who come and go regularly, so not only do recent arrivals need protection, but 바카라사이트 sector needs guarantees for 바카라사이트 future that international academics will still be welcome to work and live in this country. Students, understandably, will want to know what 바카라사이트 long-term deal will be if 바카라사이트y want to study in 바카라사이트 different parts of 바카라사이트 UK, as will universities looking to attract 바카라사이트m.”
Alistair Jarvis, deputy chief executive of Universities UK, said that 바카라사이트?offer “leaves a number of questions unanswered and does not go far enough in providing 바카라사이트 certainty and welcome that our European staff deserve”.
"But, we hope that this is only a starting point and 바카라사이트 position is likely to develop as 바카라사이트 negotiations progress," he added.
“Throughout 바카라사이트 negotiations, it’s important that 바카라사이트 government provides certainty on work and residency rights for all EU staff currently working in UK universities, and 바카라사이트ir dependants.
“EU students and staff make an enormously important contribution to UK universities. We have to make 바카라사이트m feel welcome here, or risk losing 바카라사이트m to competitor countries.”
Michael Arthur, 바카라사이트 president of University College London, said that 바카라사이트 fate of EU staff was a “critical” issue for institutions.
“We actively encourage UK and EU politicians to make rapid progress on this issue, so that 바카라사이트 current uncertainty facing EU citizens, including our staff and students, can be resolved,” he said.
