Consider Standing for Senate or Court: Have your say in running the University!

There are a number of vacancies on Senate, to which it is essential we nominate UCU members for election so our perspectives get aired and considered at the highest level. Details are below, and UCU members tend to meet and confer in advance of meetings. If you are considering standing and would like to discuss it, or need somebody to propose or second your nomination, please email ucu@cardiff.ac.uk. Nominations close at noon on 26 June.

There are vacancies for a Senate term up to 31 July 2022 for members of staff:

  • at grade 5 and above – but excluding Professors – who work in a School or College of the University (excluding Architecture, Biosciences, Medicine, Psychology or Social Sciences which already have the maximum 2 representatives).
