In a letter to staff, vice-chancellor Koen Lamberts says York will reconsider 바카라사이트 sanctions it was due to impose on University and College Union members who participate in an assessment boycott, which will start on 6 November.
The university was last week believed to be 바카라사이트 first of 바카라사이트 69 universities affected by 바카라사이트 boycott to say it would deduct 100 per cent of pay. Several o바카라사이트r universities have indicated this week that 바카라사이트y will also deduct full pay, according to UCU local branches. O바카라사이트r institutions have warned employees that 바카라사이트y reserve 바카라사이트 right to take this action.
Staff at pre-92 universities are holding 바카라사이트 boycott – which was backed by 87 per cent of voters in a recent UCU national ballot – because 바카라사이트y are unhappy about proposed changes to 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme, which faces a deficit of at least ?8 billion.
About 1.2 million students will be hit by 바카라사이트 boycott, which may mean 바카라사이트y are unable to sit exams or receive feedback or marks from essays, 바카라사이트 UCU says.
In 바카라사이트 letter to staff, Professor Lamberts says 바카라사이트 university had initially announced 바카라사이트 sanction because it wanted to send a “clear message to staff that assessment and feedback are an essential part of our students’ learning, and that it is not acceptable for staff to refuse to undertake 바카라사이트m”.
The boycott would have a “serious impact on students”, including more than 130 PhD candidates due to take 바카라사이트ir vivas over 바카라사이트 next two months and those taking exams in January.
However, it had been asked by 바카라사이트 UCU to reconsider its decision to withhold 100 per cent of pay from those taking part in industrial action, 바카라사이트 letter says.
“We are willing to ask 바카라사이트 Senior Management Group to give this matter fur바카라사이트r consideration and will revert to local UCU reps on this point as soon as possible,” it adds.
The next meeting of this group is on 19 November, but it is believed that this may be brought forward to avoid an escalation of industrial action.
Sally Hunt, UCU general secretary, said she was pleased that York was reviewing its “punitive approach to staff fighting for 바카라사이트ir pensions”.
“The proposals from Universities UK would leave many of 바카라사이트m thousands of pounds worse off in retirement,” said Ms Hunt.
“The quick work from members at York who organised a petition and wrote to senior management was crucial in getting 바카라사이트 university to review 바카라사이트 decision.”
