2) Your Views Sought on Current Progression & Promotion Proposals
Changes to Pathway 3 job titles to correspond with Pathway 1 titles: a welcome change?
Progression for most Pathway 3 teaching staff on Grade J/profile b and above: a positive move, but why not for staff on Grade I/profile a and above? Or indeed Pathway 2 research staff?
Should Readers be retitled Associate Professors? Movement between Pathways to be made easier? The addition of 3 new Grade L Reader discretionary points? New Promotions Framework based on the Boyer’s model of scholarship?
For a more comprehensive account, please do read our Bristol UCU blog post ‘‘Progress to Report But Also Areas of Disappointment’: Bristol UCU Promotion and Progression Update’:
