UCU: ‘Shocking’ workloads reported at universities

Union survey finds increase in workloads, with teaching staff hit harder than researchers

University staff say that their workloads have increased dramatically in the past three years, with more than a third of those responding to a union survey saying their in-tray is unmanageable.

The findings were reported by the University and College Union, which surveyed 13,000 union and non-union staff in universities, colleges and other education settings.
