67 UCL Professors have joined in the initial call and petition to extend the consultation period for the most dramatic change to UCL statutes in 24 years (add that to the number to the right to see the current total).


These reforms could have serious consequences for academic freedom of inquiry and protections against arbitrary redundancy at UCL, and for the future of the university. Yet they are being rushed through over the summer, to be approved by Council on 1st October 2012.


If you are a member of Academic Board, please sign the below petition to join the initial signatories in calling to extend the essential consultation period and debate within UCL on whether these reforms are safe and necessary:


We, the undersigned call for the UCL consultation period on Statute 18 reform to be extended at least to the 14 December 2012

I started this because I was worried about what these changes might mean for all of us and I am genuinely humbled to see so many people agreeing that we need more time to talk. I am currently reaching out to colleagues to see how we can properly review these proposals together because the strength of this movement belongs entirely to the people who chose to sign.

Rushing these changes through in the summer is shady. Give people time to actually read what is happening.

Wrong to pass this while everyone is away. Very disappointed in the leadership on this one.

Just let us have the debate. If these reforms are so good then they can hold up to a few more months of scrutiny.

Academic freedom is the whole point of this place. Slow down and let the board have a real discussion.

Total nonsense. Nobody is here in august to consult on anything. EXTEND THE DEADLINE.

What is the rush??? This is too important to mess up because someone wants to meet a deadline.
