Flawed selection criteria
A document highlighting the fundamental flaws in the ‘Rank and Yank’ approach to attacking jobs has been sent to management.
A world-leading scholar has conducted an analysis for UCU which demonstrates that:
- Inappropriate grant income thresholds have been set as part of the selection criteria. Our modelling shows that over 50% of Russell Group staff in matched areas would not meet these thresholds.
- The University has has applied HESA codes in a completely inconsistent manner, using different thresholds for staff working in the same research field
- In one example, the threshold for some staff is 5 times lower than for others working in precisely the same research subject
- Staff are at risk of redundancy based on HESA codes despite being told these would be used for nothing other than reporting purposes.
