Firstly, the results of the department rep elections are below.

Secondly, the committee has decided to extend a deadline for additional nominations (where there are still available roles) because the nomination period ended up being quite short and the deadline was during a busy period for a lot of UCU members.

Nominate more colleagues!

The idea is in larger departments you can elect a small team of UCU reps to work together. Here’s the number of reps you can elect for your area. (That number includes those who have already been elected – see below.)

The new deadline for nominations is the end of Monday 1 July.

You can find out more about the UCU department rep roles and how to nominate a colleague at https://www.leedsucu.org.uk/about-us/choosing-your-ucu-department-representatives/

Election results

The following candidates were elected unopposed. (This means there were the same number or fewer candidates nominated than available roles so there is no need to conduct a ballot.)

This list doesn’t include candidates whose nominations were completed after the deadline of 13 June – they will be taken with the other nominations received by 1 July.
