UoL management support gender equality as long as they don't have to pay for it
Final supporters
We the undersigned feel that the issue of gender pay gap is such an important and embedded value that to try and address it on the back of annual pay rounds doesn't do it justice. It is particularly hypocritical to allow UCEA to represent the University of Leicester in this way when they have just launched the He4She campaign,
We call on the UoL Leadership Team to instruct UCEA to separate these issues in their negotiations and to lead a working group to examine local solutions to this issue

Surely such a bold and vocal commitment to HeforSheshould be backed up with actions?
I believe the University management is innocent. It is the European Commission who indirectly forced them to hire male academics only. The EC funds mostly grants with male PIs. If a University wants research funding, they should forget about women as academics.
It would appear that the University of Leicester wants to be seem to be addressing the gender gap but in fact are not

The gender pay gap should be addressed as a matter of principle - not used as a condition in pay negotiations. If the University of Leicester wishes to retain credibility as a supporter of the He4She campaign it has to instruct UCEA to change its position. Action, not words,
