Introducing...Chris O'Donnell
Meet our candidate for President of UCU Scotland
Dear subscribers,
Today, we’re introducing you to Chris O’Donnell (he/him), our candidate for President of UCU Scotland. Chris works at the University of the West of Scotland and he already serves as a UK-wide pay negotiator.
Chris has made a short video setting out his vision for UCU in Scotland, and why you should give him your vote if you are a member in Scotland. UCU Scotland as a body has massive potential to improve the Scottish HE sector, and Chris understands that potential and wants to make the very best of it.
You’ll find more information about all UCU Commons candidates on our website. We have also written an explainer of the role of NEC and the elected officers, how the voting system works, and why it is vitally important to vote in these elections. Please keep reading and sharing it!
The UCU national officer hustings were held on Wednesday 5th February, and the recording is now available online. We strongly recommend giving it a watch.
We are fast approaching the end of the voting period, so if you haven’t voted yet, don’t delay. The last day to order a replacement ballot is Monday 24th February. The last safe posting day (without adding a First Class stamp) is Tuesday 25th February. Ballots can still be posted until Thursday 27th February, but if you wait until then, make sure you attach a First Class stamp. The ballot closes at 5pm on Monday 3rd March.
Please keep voting and telling your friends and colleagues to vote!
In solidarity,
UCU Commons
