DISPUTE BETWEEN THE ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS AND UNIVERSITIES

Early day motion 2165, tabled 15 May 2006 by Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 40 members.

That this House is deeply concerned at the failure to resolve the ongoing national dispute between the Association of University Teachers and universities; is further concerned at the massive disruption that students, in particular final year students, are facing in the light of this failure to secure a settlement to the dispute; and urges university vice-chancellors to make the resolution of this damaging ongoing dispute an urgent priority and to seek an immediate settlement in the interests of staff, students and the whole of England.
