Policy session – regrading
We are organising more policy sessions for Semester 2 – these meetings are open to all members who want to better understand these policies, have questions around it or just want to get a better idea about how these policies are applied at the University of Glasgow.
Why not come along and join the discussion if you have experiences with these policies or have questions around them? These meetings are to share knowledge amongst peers and foster discussion.
The meetings will take place in the UCU Glasgow Office at 68 Oakfield Avenue, G12 8LS Glasgow If you’d like to join these sessions online, please contact us via email and we can arrange this too.
We’d also be interested to hear what other policies we should discuss in future meetings – please drop us an email with any ideas. We are planning on continuing with these meetings throughout the academic year, so keep an eye out for future meetings.

Policy Review Group
PRG (POLICY REVIEW GROUP)
This meeting is an opportunity to discuss University policies, and allow for input from all trade unions, meeting typically once every two months.
Though non-contractual policy does not require union consultation, in the spirit of good workplace relations we are consulted on all new policy and revisions to old policy.
At earlier stages in the process, draft policies are not in a position to be widely spread, but UCU will seek broad input from the membership via email on issues they may have with the existing policy, in order to shape our negotiations. Members wishing to be more closely involved even at an early stage may contact reps at any point.
Once draft policies are in a position to be released to the membership, they will be sent out via email for members’ approval before reps make any final decision.
Who typically attends on behalf of UCU: Jenny Morrison and Duncan Lowther
