In response to concerns expressed by members about the role of student feedback in PDRs, UCU has been in communication with the University to raise those concerns. They include such factors as low response rate from students and potential gender discrimination in the feedback – see attached letter

As a result the University, as stated in the response we have received from Pro-Vice Chancellor Martin Stringer, has agreed to review the whole process after Easter and in the meantime we have proposed that the University carry out an ethical review of this issue and also an equality impact assessment.
