Â̲èÖ±²¥ this event

Â̲èÖ±²¥ UCU will be hosting an open meeting for all Â̲èÖ±²¥ staff with the MP for Â̲èÖ±²¥, Shepshed, and the Villages, Dr. Jeevun Sandher.

The event will focus on 'The Future of Higher Education Policy in the UK'. Dr. Sandher will speak on the topic, before the floor is then open for a discussion and questions from the audience.

Prior to his election to Parliament last year, Dr. Sandher previously worked as an economist researching inequality and poverty at King’s College London, and he has also served as a UCU trade union rep.

As this is meeting open to all Â̲èÖ±²¥ staff, please do mention this event to any colleagues you think may be interested in attending.

Note that while online attendance will be possible, in-person attendance is encouraged where possible – and there should also be time to ask questions to Dr. Sandher informally before and after the event.

A calendar invite and link to join online are available on the event website.
